comments:
Malty and extremely hoppy.

gravity:
- first sparge @ 16 Brix
- second sparge @ 12 Brix
- final measurement after dried extract additions roughly @ 15 Brix ... about a 6%

notes:
First signs of fermentation at about 11 hours after pitching.  Very active on the second day.
This brew was supposed to be a ten gallon batch.  Only harvested about 8 - 9 gallons.  One full 6.5 carboy and one third full 6.5 carboy.  Unsure what will become of the two gallons yet.  May bottle.
