+<big><strong>Recipe Notes</strong></big>
+
+<p>Treat water with 1/4 campden tablet<br>
+<br>
+Steep grains for 30 minutes in 2 quarts water (strike 170F). Rinse with 1qt distilled water @ 170F.<br>
+<br>
+Treat boil water with 1g Water Crystals, 2g NaCl ("balance between malt and bitterness") <br>
+<br>
+Boil as per usual<br>
+<br>
+Add star anise 20 minutes before end of boil (whole, 2 of them or ~10-14g)<br>
+Add molasses 10 minutes before end of boil<br>

+<big><strong>Batch Notes</strong></big>
+
+<p>Batch was a bit screwed up ... Steve milled the grains for me, but he did not quite get the instructions and *only* milled the leftover ingredients, and for the chocolate malt which he did weigh he used the scale in ounces mode and misread 5oz as 0.5lbs. I almost gave up, but Rebecca suggested that I use a coffee grinder... I tried a bit, and it seemed OK (at least for flavor grains that don't need to be mashed...) and the following were ground that way:<br>
+<br>
+ - 3oz chocolate malt (weighed with my digital tea scale)<br>
+ - 1/2lbs black patent (american six row instead of british as well)<br>
+ - 3/4lbs 80⁰L Crystal<br>
+<br>
+The amounts of steeping grains are as a result of this pretty inexact--the amounts we had leftover were not recorded quite exactly, and my kitchen scale is only really accurate to 1/8-1/4lbs.<br>
+<br>
+The steeping process was not ideal, I used a bit less water than I should have (2quarts), struck at 170⁰F, but the oven was broken and I used a crock pot (which was able to hold the temperature of water fairly well, I think the water needed to strike at a higher temperature for that much grain but I have to calculate that... and should have used more water anyway). The final temperature was 158⁰F.<br>
+<br>
+After this debacle, however, brewing went smoothly. No boilovers, everything was added on time. The new wort chilling setup worked remarkably well--using ice water in a tub and a pump the wort was at 74⁰F in 18 minutes.<br>
+<br>
+Two star anise pods were used, and these weighed 2.7g. The recipe notes call for 10-14g because I am an idiot and have no idea how much they actually weighed :).<br>
+<br>
+OG = 1.072 @ 74F (1.074 corrected). I feared the ibeer would have a husky astringent flavor from the makeshift grind, but it was not. There was a strong nose of molasses and anise, with a mellow anise flavor at the end.<br>
+<br>
+Fermentation did not take off for 36 hours. At the 30 hour mark I sanitized the wort stirring spoon with rubbing alcohol and agitated the yeast cake; this resulted in the fermentation starting farily quickly. I assume the yeast were compacted enough and old (the previous beer had sat on the cake for around six weeks due to unexpected scheduling problems and a member of the brewing team being sick for over a week). After it started, however, it was quite vigorous (over 4 bubbles per second from the airlock, and more wort churning than I've seen before).
