Over shot OG

2008-07-27 6:46pm

Brewed this up today and over shot the OG a little bit. My mashing techniques are getting better, so I guess I need to scale recipe back a little next time. This really fits more in the Brown Porter style because of the higher OG. But either way, I think this is going to be a tasty brew.
