Brewing Notes:
24/10/2010. First mini-mash with malted grains. Seemed to go pretty well, managed to keep it steady in the 60-70 range. Ideally, it should be more steady than that, but as this was the inaugural CCB partial-mash, we shall allow for some leeway.
I subsequently learned that I cocked up the partial vibe, didn't sparge or anything. This mistake will not be repeated.
Bottling Notes:
Bottled two days before heading to Italy, on the 20th of Nov.
Tasting Notes:
Tasted two days after getting back from Italy, on the 12th of Dec. Bloody good. I think. See above.
