Targeted!

 Red Clay Redux was brewed tonight.  And as a special treat, we hit target original gravity!  (well, close to it, target gravity 1.049, measured OG: 1.048@76.4F = 1.0499)

Current inventory of the original Red Clay is down to 3 bottles.  It probably won't last until Redux is ready to go in 6-8 weeks.
