Notes:
4/24/2010--Brewed nearly by myself...with the help of a couple brewers assistants (Autry and Clarabelle). I had a connection problem with the inner'ds of my mash tun which made everything trickle out REALLY slowly. Also, I'm fairly certain I didn't get as much sugars out of the mash. I had to pick up Autry from a birthday party so I was rushing. Color looks good.
4/25/2010--Yeast took off right away. This dry yeast is supposed to be pretty good--powerful, no need to refrigerate, and CHEEEEP (as low at $1.50 at brewbrothers). Anyways, we'll see. I suppose it could be a "Not so strong" Scottish due to the temp not getting met.
5/6/2010--Still fermenting nicely, I'm thinking it'll be in the bucket for a while, as I don't have an open spot int he kegerator.
5/20/2010--I probably should do something with this as it's almost been a month. The beer just recently stopped bubbling and still have co2 pressure. Took a reading: 1.006ish. This should be good. That dry yeast is a freaking champ! Racked to keg to condition for a while.
6/19/2010--I've been drinking on this for a while now. I really like it. Big spicy taste with an alcoholic after taste (I guess I might have hit the mash temp after all). Great beer, thanks for the recipe Chris from brewbrothers!
