Homebrew - Budget APA

I had some money left over on an Austin Homebrew gift card and this kit was on sale so I got it.

This partial mash had 4.5 lbs of grain. My mash water was 167 before adding it to the grain. At the start of the mash the temperature was 159, then 154 at the half and 151 by the end of the mash. This was pretty good, I aim to keep it over 152. I sparged with 170 degree water. Everything else went pretty smoothly apart from I forgot to dry hop it. No big deal it is now more a PA than a IPA.

I forgot to review this batch and drank them all. I'm trying to remember anything about it but can't. They must have been ok because they are all gone :)
