Brewing Notes:
Water was mix of RO and Carlsbad tap. Initial runnings were 1079, adding 1oz Citra at first wort. Boil finished at 1056 and just under 6 gal. 

Update 6/9/18: Taste is great, very roasty and hops are just about spot on flavor wise. Not my favorite version of the style I've brewed. Maybe would make just a tad more bitterness and dry hop next time...
