Comments

- Fermentation started fast at 80Fand then dropped over night to 55F in fridge
- Typical rotten egg smell on the 4th day of fermentation
- Three weeks into primary and the beer has settled down nicely. I think I'll lager for a few more weeks.
- Nov 12th, currently lagering in primary. Expected to keg on Dec 7th and drink during xmas.
- Nov 30. taste on kegging is full of body. Good stuff but only 4 gals.
