1.5 oz Glacier (60 min)
Yeast
-------
Dry pack of English Ale Yeast (warmed up in some water before adding to primary)

90 min @ 154°F
Wasn't happy with the iodine reading after 60 minutes so we let it set for an additional 30 minutes. Hard to see the iodine change because of the dark wort color.

Notes
-------
Brew Day 11/26/2014
Secondary Fermentation Start 12/14/2014
Bottled 2/1/2015
OG: 1.050
FG: 1.010
ABV: 5.25%
After drinking this for a few weeks now, would boost pecan quantities if brewed again. I am getting the flavor in the finish, but would like to have more nut. Also might boost grain bill or try to get a more efficient mash in order to boost ABV about 1 - 2 %.
