The only problem was I made the mix a little cooler than I wanted, it was 62* at pitch time, I was shooting for 70*OG
OG = 1.102 @ 62*
FG = 1.089 @ 68*
Bottled March 12, 2001 - Stupid rookie mistake by me (Batch Primed)
April 8, 2011 - First Bottle BOMB!!! (due to rookie mistake of bottle when still fermenting)
~This was the 12oz capped tester, I vented the twelve Grosch bottles to avoid more bombs
