NOTES

Mash at 152. First hop addition at first wort. Last addition at flameout. When doubting S-04, remember http://brulosophy.com/2017/11/16/short-shoddy-british-golden-ale/
Holy crap, this brew day was efficient. I guess it helps when you get caught up cleaning and let the mash go long. I'm grateful though because the long mash made up for the lack of boil off when my propane ran out 15 minutes early.
The temp outside is high 40s to high-60s, so I'm leaving the fermenter outside. Let's see how this goes!
Let condition for 4 weeks after bottling.

"I'm very pleased with this and will make this part of my annual rotation. Next time I think I will add some additional hops to compliment the EKG, while keeping them the star. I also might ferment a titch warmer to get more character out of S-04, but I'm not mad about how it performed at all."
