Yeast:
Wyeast Trappist High Gravity from The Pauper recipe

Mash in 5 gallons 165 degree water, target 1.048 (came in low for some reason, trying to cook dinner at same time-actual temp 145, so I mashed for 90 minutes)
Sparge 3.5 gallons 170 degree water (batch sparge, but stir for 15 minutes because of low temps in initial mash)
Boil 75 minutes

Initial mash 7:00pm
Sparge 9:00pm
Boil 9:30pm
Flameout 10:45pm
Chill to 70 11:05pm

Target OG 1.076 Actual OG 1.075
Fermented at 64 degrees ambient for 3 days, moved upstairs 70-78 ambient for 4 days. Today, 4/20 krausen has dropped, but so have the temps outside, but I'm going to leave it upstairs for a few more days at warmer temps.
