Save 1.1 qts. wort for Krauesening. Needed About 70 deg for fermentation. took about 2 months to ferment. Starting gravity about 1.053 ending 1.013 aged in bottle for at least 3 months very good first attempt long boil provided a caramelized flavor. maybe a bit too bitter but acceptable. would like just a tad more hop flavor. next time might use .5 # crystal and 1# pale to lighten color a bit.
