## Notes

We wanted to use Willamette as a replacement for Fuggle at 30mins, but we messed
up and ended up with none. We had to replace it with Chinook...

The color is way too dark for a pale ale (it's closer to a red/brown ale). I
would replace the cara 40 by cara 20 or something like that next time.

Good overall volume in the carboy, sparging until we get near 5.5-6 gallons is a
good idea.

Dry-hopped on 2020-11-22.

Bottled on 2020-12-06.

Opened the first bottle on 2020-12-22. Very good, would brew again the same way.
