Day	Entry
16	Bottling day: black caps. First taste: very good. Had to guess amt of priming sugar as it was a small batch
71	Undercarbonated but drinkable!
406	Still have some of these knocking around and the carbonation and head is terrific! Really tasty and upgrading rating from 3 to 5.

For when you're cold, wet, and alone
