So I did this recipe again yesterday EXACTLY like the first time but had a LIL bit of an issue getting it to "cold crash" after boiling wart...one would think that "WOULDNT" be a problem living in Alaska but we haven't had a winter!...anyways I let the Carboy sit overnight and pitched the yeast...

Lmao yes I definitely learned a lesson!...the other growler came out of it fine but I definitely won't be making that mistake again! And I think I actually might be looking into getting a kegerator and keg for this in the future so I won't run into this problem anyways...thanks again guys this...

And the final product! Mmmmm simply the best beer I've ever had!...no going back to Killian's Irish red for this fella!!!

I am trying this recipe as my first mash project and yet I am also still a bit of a "Newb" when it comes to terminology in beer making...what exactly does it mean in the part of the recipe when it calls for Northern Brewer hops twice at 30 and 60 mins? Do I need to add at two different times or...
