Mash Notes
White froth on boiling wort. Forgot the campden tablet for water treatment this time.


Tasting Notes
Hops a bit harsh. I tried to keep the Summit out of this one, but I think the Galena was too much as an alternative. The Fenugreek has an edge that I recognize from cheap maple syrup. Not a bad overall brew, even so.


Notes
Treat water with a campden tablet to remove chlorine before beginning. Treat water with phosphoric acid to adjust pH down to around 5-6
