	The Willamette were whole and I didn't put them in a bag. They stayed in the beer during primary fermentation and were removed when transferring into the secondary fermentation container.

Yeast:	White Labs, Edinburgh
Log:	Brewed June 14, 2010. First batch of this recipe. OG measured 1.078. Put into secondary fermentation on June 21 with SG of 1.024. Bottled on June 24 with an FG 1.022.
Carbonation:	2.1 volumes	Cane Sugar: 3.32 oz. for 5 gallons @ 73°F
	Couldn't find my corn sugar and needed to bottle due to a leaking container.
Tasting:	When tasted at bottling I was surprised by the strong hops flavor. I checked over the recipe and noticed that I had entered the Columbus hops as 'bag' rather than 'pellet'. This raised the calculated bitterness from 29 to 35!
