Notes:
------

Brewed 7/29/17.
Hit my mash temp and volume OK, but got OG of 1.056, a bit high.

After whirlpool, used IC to get wort to 100F, racked, then left to cool.

7/30/17: Pitched one packet of US-05 at ~70F, which is on the high side. Did not oxygenate, but did rehydrate the yeast.

Activity by that evening. High airlock activity and krausen by the following day. By 8/1,  fermentation still going but high krausen appears to have past.

8/3/17: Added dry hops.

8/12/17: Kegged with carbing sugar. Aiming for 2.4 volumes of CO2.
