(brewed 04/23)
Ella was anxious to help Daddy brew today!
I squeezed in an unplanned Patersbier brewday today. All went well, I hit my OG and volume targets. Things went surprisingly quick too- about 4 hours total including setup, up tear down, and clean up. Must be the new kettle ;)
I tweaked the recipe slightly, dropped a half pound of base malt to account for efficiency and attenuation, and added 2oz of Carapils, which is my new go-to for head retention. I am anxious to see how this one turns out. I plan on cold crashing and an extended secondary so that this one will really clear up.
I followed up the brewday by power washing my deck - good times.
