Update
I just finished brewing this, and although the brew day was not ideal, I am happy with the results and will learn from rookie mistakes moving forward.
You'll see the issues i had under the "notes" section. I'd appreciate feedback on the recipe and I will get back to you in about 4 weeks of so with an update. i will try this same recipe again in the future
