Notes
Hit mash temp at 152-153F. Conversion confirmed. Mash PH originally taken at 5.43 but seemed to get higher on later measurments. Added 1 additional ML of Lactic Acid late in the mash and 1ml in the begining of the boil as well as an addtional 2g of gypsum. Pre boil gravity was 1.046. Forgot to add yeast nutrient on time. Extended the boil by 8 minutes so that the nutrient had 10 minutes to boil. OG 1.060. Chilled to 67F. Pitched starter. Out of O2 and air stone did not work well with aquarium pump. Ran pump for a few hours without much success. Will buy O2 in the morning and add at that time.

PM: High krausen. Airlock very active. Temp rose to 66F.
01/26/14: AM: 66F. AM Airlock slowing. Roused yeast pushed up temp to 67F.

01/27/14: AM: 67F. Airlock active. Roused yeast and pushed temp up to 68F.
01/28/14: AM: 68F. Minor airlock activity. Roused yeast. PM: no airlock activity. Roused yeast. Gravity at 1.016.
02/17/14: Gravity at 1.015. Transfered to secondary (10 gallons). Had a bit of extra beer. Filled 2x22oz bottles with beer and added 2 carb tabs to each.
03/05/14: Dry hopped with 1oz of EKG (in bag w/ weight tied to lid).
03/06/14: Cold crashed.
