Notes
I did not hit my SG. I have to try to improve the process and maybe read up more on the proper crushing of the grains. I am using a old mill. I was affraid of turning it into flour. This was also Midwest Supplies recipe that I added a little caramel 120 to for color and an extra ounce of hops at 10 minutes. I think pilsner may be a better malt for this but I have 2 shacks of 2 row.
