    Notes

    		 
    10/28/2014 - Tuesday OG = 1.048 at 80F. Corrected 1.050.
It was starting to get cold outside so I moved the fermenter indoors.

12/27/2014 - Very carbonated for the small bottles. Lots of foam out.  Tasted fine. Probably on the yeasty side. Not what I expected. Clove. Almost like an Irish red.
