People have loved Double Down so its time to brew again.  Last time I went low on the first hop addition.  This time I’m going to up it a bit and make it a bit more bitter.  Also had to modify slightly the yeast as the brew store did not have enough Juice.

Brew Notes

The Mash Tun pump was making a ton of noise.  Turned out that I lost the washer and there was a good size dent in the blade unit.  I found a washer that fit and hammered the dent out best I could.  Seemed to fix the problem.
