Notes:

First all grain batch (BIAB). Next time put 4 gals into mash. We messed up and didn’t have enough water after adding all the grains, making it really hard to get the temp right, as we had to add almost ½ gal. Water boiled when trying to get it up to temp. 1/20/2013 - Went to bottle and it wasn’t anywhere near finished (1.034). We found out after already racking into the bottling bucket, and adding priming sugar. Re-racked back into fermenter, and directly pitched more washed yeast (no starter). After another week, FG was the same. It must have been from mashing too high, as we had trouble getting it to temp.
