Sparged a little more heavily than I've been doing lately. Collected about 5.5 gallons in the sparge, though final runnings were still 1.035.

Yeast: swelled slap-pack kept in refrigerator for a week, then grown overnight in 1.2 liters, supernatant decanted.
Racked 3.5 hours to remove from break and dead yeast and to aerate. Aerated with wand at about 5.5 hours.
Nice and dry at bottling time.
