Perm Link
Note: 
batman was the inspiration. teh suck that 1337 is an integer tho - broke my web logic so i had to make it a string. [note: instead of isinstance(bid, int) use len( Batches.selectBy(name=bid) ) > 0]

0.75*(10.5*37+.75*34+.125*29)/5.15 = 60.8

----
US Open Results:
Probably DMS in aroma, very slight malt, some strawberry like fruit

Over carbonated, light body

Too sweet for style, not enough bitter balance. Some caramel/biscuit. No diacetyl.

**Hop flavor is good, need more bittering. Bigger malt bill for ESB

math doesn't work out, not sure where my system is failing. Guessing the issue is in volume measurements.

note: 
siphoned thru sterilized nylon bag attached to end of racking cane. Seemed to work well for keeping sediment out. The fine mesh bag and sediment build-up cause some CO2 to come out of solution and may complicate racking.
