 167
 168 <p>I am not sure if the color for the dry malt is correct (sheet said 8-13?), or if the SG is right (the LME is correct, but the DME had no info on that so I used the &apos;usual&apos; number from a book).

 171 <big><strong>Batch Notes</strong></big>
 172
 173 <p>I did a half boil (three gallons preboiled and left to cool in the fermentor, and three gallons boiIed with the malt/hops). I did not make a starter for this one. I Accidentally added the bittering hops before the hot break. Everything else seemed to go fine. Cooled the wort from boiling to roomtemp in a bit under a half an hour in the sink with a bit of ice. OG was 1.054 (read 1.048 @ 98F [I didn&apos;t cool the concentrated wort to quite low enough of a temperature to offset the hot water in the bucket]). I had to let it sit closed overnight because the wort/water mix took a long time to cool down, and pitched the yeast at nine the next morning. Vigorous fermentation started before the next day.<br>
 174 <br>
 175 BOTTLING DAY:<br>
 176 Bottled three days late (Thursday april 27). Fermentation was quick. There were a few temperature spikes and dips during fermentation. FG was 1.014 (right on target). Initial taste is a bit bready, and initially mildly hopped but moving to a nice floral hoppiness after swallowing. Bottling went well (the last bottle or two will probably be oxidsed, but such is life).
