Notes

**Grind Carafa II in coffee grinder and add during sparge**

11/24/2021 - Kegged - FG=1.002 - Clean and bright flavor overall. The color was more amber than red. When/if I add gelatin to the keg, I may drop in some red food coloring just to give it a more vibrant color, since I was going for more of the old commercial beer.
