0	Target OG 1.055; testing a bit higher but not really mixed. Should follow up tomorrow. this is a test of the emergency broadcast system
20	Bottling day; gold caps. Surprisingly low FG (est. 1.017, great attenuation! - est ABV 5.48%). Tasted great even now. No green flavors, interesting.
53	One of my best! Very positive response from all (even wife). Well balanced, clean, dunkle with great style. Must be repeated.

The thirst mutilator!
