Brewing Notes

Grains steeped at 150F for an hour. Extracts and brown sugar boiled for 60 minutes. Yeast nutrient and irish moss added with 10 minutes remaining in boil. All hops were in pellet form. Honey and apple cider were pasteurized at 140F for 30 minutes in a separate pot. Apple cider/honey added to wort in the primary. In the end, this beer came out sweet, way too sweet. Fermentation was incomplete, as I think the yeast poisoned themselves before all the sugars were converted.
