Notes

Brewed with my brother to comemerate his trip to Michigan after us being here 4.5 years! Added 1 tsp of gypsum and 0.4 tsp of calcium chloride to the water. pre boil gravity = 1.040. Pre boil gravity was 88% of expected, likely due to batch sparge method. should remember to increase grain bill to compensate.
