Day	Entry
3	Removed overflow. Bubbling slow. Temp holding with new heater at 22C
28	Bottling day: Used 160g liquid dark candi sugar
104	Damn, it's gone already! It was a good batch. Could consider lightening the body a bit with some candi sugar. However, only have dark on hand and don't want to throw balance

For when you're cold, wet, and alone
