Comments

Hit all of the mash numbers.  It started a bit thin-looking at the 111F rest, but became more normal as the mash proceeded.

 Used yeast from previous batch, restored over the last week.

Airlock activity at 4 hours.

==========

11/10/13 - Large krausen present at 20 hours.  It doesn't look like it will blow out, but there is certainly a vigorous ferment going on.  Indicated temperature is 68F, room temperature at 66F.

==========

11/11/13 - Krausen starting to subside.  Fermentation still vigorous.  Indicated temperature 68F.

Drain tun for the first sparge.  The second sparge will require 2.25 gallons at 170F.
