Mash Notes
Boil lost less than normal from evaporation because of the addition of 1 gallon of LME.


Fermentation Notes
Had a STRONG ferment going in 4 hours. Mostly slowed in 24.


Problem Notes
1) Had a strong rolling boil when adding the LME and hops and ended up burning the LME on the bottom of the kettle. Need to turn OFF the flame when doing this in the future.
