Log:	My effeciency has been low in the past, so I have quite a bit of grain in this batch. Eff jumped to 67% this time (up from 47%). Unfoitunately, there was an air leak somewhere in my klettle fittings, so some air was whipped into the hot wort before chilling... probably gonna have some big time HSA.
