Well done

This turned out pretty nice. It needed to dry out more, though, because it finished at 1.015. This is because my efficiencies overshot and it started at 1.060. Next time lower the grain bill to get proper starting gravity. Could lower mash temp too. This would be a good beer if it finished at 1.008.
