hopefully a good beer to watch the nasty winter weather with. Brewed yesterday and its rolling good now. I had a pint of starter slurry, which still took longer than I thought to get rattling. Temp is around 65F, color looks to be a nice copper (of course darker than bt suggests), hopefully a big maltyness with plenty of bitter to complement it.I might dry hop with a .5 oz crysstal plug, when I transfer it - hopefully tommorrow night because I definitely want to transfer this one before it completely stops. I'm hoping for a brew I can drink in three weeks. OG was 1.061
