Brew Notes

I steeped the grains on the longer end this time, close to the full 30 minutes. Used a brew bag for hops again.

Tasting Notes

Been craving some blonde ales again and this was one of my favorite brews so it was due for a re-brew. Near the end of my PhD I was too distracted and the airlock dried out on this one in secondary. I tried drinking a little of it, but I wasn’t happy with the flavor so I dumped it. This was the first batch I ever dumped. To be safe for future batches I scrubbed the carboy the best I could and did a strong PBW wash to kill off any wild strains from lingering in the carboy.
