Grains

Flaked Rye - I ran out so the final product will not have as much rye character as planned

Mash temp

Brewday brew!

Boil

Final brix after sugar adjustment (efficiency was way low). This worked out to 1.059, 60% efficiency. 

Rehydrating a fresh pack of S-04

And away we go...

240g dry hops (10g/L) added at brewday +9: Simcoe, Chinook, and Eureka
