Mash Notes
Everything went really smooth. When I topped off, I found I didn't pre-boil enough water to make 5 gallons. I was, maybe a third of a gallon off. So, I started boiling some more water, and took a hydrometer reading. It was dead on 1.056, right where the recipe sheet from Alternative Beverage said I should be, so I opted to not add any more water, and just settle for the lower quantity to hit my OG. Looking at the sheet from Homebrew Adventures (the original authors), it says the OG should be between 1.049 and 1.056, so really, I probably should have topped off more.


Fermentation Notes
Active fermentation started within a few hours. I had started my yeast on my stir plate 24 hrs earlier.
