A Double Batch Day

This was a long day of brewing. I think around 9 hours total.

Notes	I made this same recipe about a year and half ago. I had the exact same problems last time as this time. I really clogged up the mashtun, so I had to dig some grain out and put it in a different mashtun. Quite a mess. Thankfully this was taking place before the boil, so I didn’t have to worry about the hygiene of everything. This was the second beer of a two beer loooooonnnnnggggg day. I did a IPA with a 90 minute boil first so it ended up being about 9 hours total.
