Brewing Notes:
This is probably the last batch that will be brewed on the stove, thank heavens. Everything went according to plan with no real discernible problems. J filled the stock pot far too high and stirring was a chore, plus the hop amounts were a bit difficult to manage. Everything went well and the OG was 1.051 which was slightly higher then expected even though some Ultralight liquid malt was spilled. Used the clarifier whirlfloc in the final 5 minutes. When the stock pot was cooled with the chiller there was a cold break and large amounts of protien seemed to form.
