7:30 155°, 1/2 lb CaraPils, 1/2 lb Crystal 20°L and 2 lbs German Vienna malts steeped.

8:00 Grains sparged with 1/2 Gal 155° water.

8:20 9.3 lbs LME added.

8:44 Boil started, 1 oz Centennial hops added.

9:29 1 oz Centennial hops, 1 tsp Irish moss and 1 tsp yeast nutrient added.

This past Saturday I racked the beer to the secondary and dry-hopped with another 1.75 oz Centennial hops. The gravity reading was 1.012, putting us at 7.3% ABV. By the time it's bottled, we might be up to 7.5% ABV.
