## Notes

Could have done with a little more water, since I forgot to take in account the
grain water absorption.

Dry hopped for 3 weeks.

15L bottled.

The first bottle I drank was oxidized, but I guess it was just a bad bottle, as
the second one I drank was much better.

Talking with Simon, it seems I could reduce the risk of oxidation by:

* wetting the whole leaf hop with boiled-and-cooled water first
* fixing the bubble problem in the tubes
* adding the hops when the primary fermentation is still going
