## Notes

Good overall volume in the carboy.

Dry-hopped on 2020-11-22.

Bottled on 2020-12-06.

Opened the first bottle on 2020-12-24. It's not a Brown Ale at all, more like a
low-ABV English Pale Ale. It's not bad though and it's very drinkable! I don't
think trying to do a parti-gyle for malt-forward styles like this is a good
idea.

In a next iteration, I would try to go back to last Brown I brewed and halve the
specialty grains.
