12/12/2013 – one week later OG= 1.018. Definite fresh grains. This is a big difference from malt liquid extract. Barley scent. Light hops. Hard to distinguish. Tastes balanced already. Hop is noticeable in taste. Lavender is subtle. SRM 40?

-1/20/2013 - 1.009 or 1.010 second day gravity . Bottled. 3.7% ABV

-2/10/2013 – tastes like a stout. Not bad. I need to use less hops next time. It was about 32 Tinseth.
