Notes:

I dumped in half a mason jar of yeast from my last brew. Then just to be sure I put in a package of S04 also. I am hoping I didn't over pitch. My OG was 1.082

Love the name!

[Inkleg]

Sounds great and at 1.082 I don't think you over pitched.

[Gymrat]

My blow off bucket was gurgling vigorously less than 5 hours after I pitched the yeast.

That name is gonna need a very long label.
