Brewday Notes and Reflections:

First Runnings 1.068
Preboil - 1.035

A rather easy brewday where all my equipment worked the way it should with the only exception being the HopBlocker (which could be attributed to me). This was the first time I added whole hops to the kettle, and the bulkhead got a little clogged with hops.

Notes:
Though I used two different yeasts, both fermenters finished @ 1.011.
