Brewing Notes

Mash at 150F for 60 min
Boil for 90 min. (We boiled down to ~4ish gallons)
Chill to 45F and pitch 2 Liter starter

Ferment:
45F for 3 days
50F for 3 days
55F until gravity <1.020
40F until gravity = 1.008 (~3 days)

Age at 40F until clear (several weeks)

Our fermentation took longer than the schedule given here. Also, the fermentation was not complete, so when we lagered it in a corny keg, pressure built up and over-carbonated it. We fixed it though, and it ended up tasting pretty good.
