Mash Notes
Mash went very well. Hop bags pulled from kettle at knockout. Whirpooled at knockout.


Notes
Target color falls high for this ale because it is intended as a Red Ale, for which the closest style match (for desired outcome) is American Pale Ale. Very Malty, warm notes from the high amounts of Munich Malt.
