* For some reason, the mash jammed. Suspect false bottom problem. Had to transfer mash into brew kettle, fix the false bottom, and transfer back before starting the sparge. Probably resulted in lost sugars, mash cooled more than it should.

* Overshot sparge water temp, started anyway at 178F. Mash was probably colder than usual due to the emergency transfer.

* Kegged on 10/7/2012
* Final Gravity 1.011
* Primed with 1/2 cup corn sugar per 0.5 L water, boiled.
* Kegged in one of Ryan's kegs. Replaced all gaskets and poppets, note that gas poppet wasn't seating well. Cleaned inside of gas port; seems to be sealing.
* Pressurized to 5 PSI. Placed back in fermenting chamber.
