Notes

Made this while waiting for rest of all-grain equipment to be put together. Pitched yeast and keep temperature at 74 degrees for 36 hours. Moved to cellar and fermented at 48-50 degrees for 5 more days. Racked to secondary and kept at 49 degrees for one month. Expect to keep for another 45+ days then will keg and keep at same temperature. Sample at one week tasted very good.

This was very good beer. The malt flavor was lightly sweet. The head retention lasted down to the last few sips of beer in the glass. One suggestion offered stated the "hops" don't seem to be there. I like loggers malty, lightly hopped with deep color. With carbonation this is great stuff. So far each recipie has been remarkable.
