Steep grains as desired (30-60 minutes)
The head is almost a coffee with cream color, and I think it needs some flaked barley for better head retention. The FG was high due to the mystery 1.020 problem. It has mellowed out in the bottle and does not feel heavy or sweet at all. The taste I would liken to a Murphys with a little hop bite. Not quite bitter, but over to that edge of balanced. Nice and dry, no alcohol taste to it at all. A little estery from the yeast, but not much. Has quite the odd aroma. It smells of malt and earthy hop tones. Not exactly what I was going for, but nice. The Williamette did not seem to me to be an earthy hop. I love this batch, absolutely delicious.
