Notes

brew day 6/7

nailed mash temp of 156

used cardamom pods, smoked them in sage on the stovetop. used half of the 1.5 grams since they're potent

planned on tarragon going in when the wort chilled to 180, left for 3 minutes then chilled again. ended up putting it in at 150 because it chilled so fast, literally turned it and boom 150

bakerd orange extract, 1/8 tsp..ended up using about half of 1/8 tsp

decided to do a sixty minute boil because wort was already dark, didn't want it darker and didn't anymore abv

hops I received had less aa than expected 2.4 to 4.5. so I added them at 23 min
