12/21/2015 - Filled the kettle to the top of the top rivet. Boil aborted soon after starting to take Drew to the clinic. Full boil time restarted 3 hours later. Boil proceeded as normal, though not vigorous enough. The result is 5.5 gallons into the primary.

12/22/2015 - Fermentation started in less than 20 hours. Proceeding at 66F.
