Secondary: 9/26/13

Bottled: 9/30/13

Notes:
Sparged with too much water so collected over amount needed for boil.  New mash tun seems to work so maybe with less sparge water I will get 75% efficiency.  Happy accident since it will just thin out the beer and not make it heavy.
Very smooth and clean.  First batch to use lauter tun.  Not much carbonation on 10/14/13.
