22JUN2011- Another batch brewed with Jon. Its really nice to have the extra help around for the brew. Plus its fun to relax with a friend. Everything went really well. No stuck mash, no hiccups really anywhere in the process. Gravity was a little lower than target even though our the mash temp was right on. I'll have to think it over and see where something needs to be adjusted.

29JUN2011- Down to 1.008, I thought this yeast was supposed to take a long time but apparently it went really quick. Might cold crash on friday.
