Notes:
--------

 Brewed 9/30/17

Hit mash temp OK. But had higher than expected efficiency - at first got about 6.9 gallons at 1.050. Diluted to 7.5 gallons at 1.046 and started boil. Still a bit over gravity.

At end of boil, ~6.3 gallons, 1.054 OG. Cooled to 100F, settled, and racked. Allowed to cool overnight.

10/1/17: 7:15 am. Oxygenated 35 seconds, pitched decanted starter. Ambient air temps ~66F in my basement.
