Notes
We used our home grown Spalter Select hops in this one. Big harvest this year produced some nice cones that smelled like peppermint and herbs.
Boiled for 75 minutes.
Fermented a bit warm (58f) in the ambient basement.
Kegged at 1.5 weeks and added some unfermented wort with plenty of yeast to continue maturing and 2nd fermentation for 3 more weeks in the keg.
We dry hopped in a cotton bag which unfortunatly floated on top for 4 days. Next time we will figure out a way to submerge it!
