Brew Batch #13

Bring out the leprechauns because Irish Red Ale is in the house. We had special visitors Kris and Ramal (currently working on their AU chapter induction). We all enjoyed several fine beers. Ramal;) has a degree in chemistry and was quite in tune with the brewing process for a first-timer. However there was this incident with a chocolate cupcake and the grain toss at the end of the night. Kris works for an unnamed beer distributor with connections to another distributor (visit one night if you want the details) and his friend plays hella drums to Jimmy Buffet. Overall, it was great except I managed to allow a boil over for the second damn time which may have affected our sugar turnout after looking at the mess on the stove eye.
OG 1.032+0.001 @70F which was bit depressing for Junk since it should have been around 1.040 but if it goes low then all is well for a moderate session beer.
