Starting the boil on this now. Last brew for a friends wedding on the 20th. Slimmed the 2row down a bit, and 5G instead of 5.5 in order to make it ferment a bit faster (slightly less volume, and lower OG) so it'll pitch a bit more and hopefully finish up a bit quicker.
Og is expected to be about 1.045 or so. Not sure if I'm going to do nochill overnight, or chill to 80 and pitch tomorrow. Depends on the time I'm done, and how impatient the gf is getting.
I'll be doing reapers mild tomorrow morning in either case, and bottling about 12 gallons after that. Maybe just bottling, depending on when time schedule as the finished beer is sitting in my parents garage which is up for sale so need to time bottling between viewings...
