Mash Notes
Strike water temp was 170, mashed in at about 158. Covered, left for an hour with some stirring. Heated up sparge water to 185, but during sparging it fell to around 165 so had to apply heat.


Boil Notes


Fermentation Notes
Whirlpooled and racked from the edge, but left too much (0.5gl) behind. OG reading was 1.022, so the next day had to boil 1.5lb of DME in 2L of water and add that to bring up OG to 1.033.


Packaging Notes
Bottled.


Tasting Notes
Somewhat malty, no hop character. Tastes weak (though this is a very low ABV beer). Light astringent notes, likely from oversparging. Almost no head.
