Brought 2 gallons of water to 185F, soaked grains for 45 minutes. Brought 2 more gallons of water to a boil, removed from heat and added LME and wort from soak, returned to heat and brought to a boil. Added Hollertau hops & started 1 hour timer. At 30 minutes, added irish moss. At 15 minutes, added fuggle hops. Cooled in a sink of cold water to 90F. Added cold water to 5 gallons. Pitched at 80F.

Racked. Oddly beefy flavor. Not sure what to make of that. We'll see how it goes and what comes out at the end. Worst case, it'll be a decent cooking beer. --Morrigu 7/27/2017
