| Mash: | 80% efficiency | |||||||
| I mash at a high temp of 160 so that I will have less fermentable sugars and a higher FG. | ||||||||

| Yeast: | Using a California Ale Yeast slurry from my last IPA. | |||||||
| Tasting: | I've made this before with a boil at an even higher temperature but it hurt my mash conversion and I ended up with a 65% utilization. This time I got in the upper 70s. | |||||||
