Notes

Ferment at 19degC
US05
Original recipe needed Vic secret and superpride (couldn't get either ... needed superpride for bittering, vic secret in whirlpool and dry hop); resolved to add some toned down topaz

Cool wort to 82degC, do whirlpool editions.
Added to Neil's ~30litre fermenter. Used ~1min pure O2 the next morn. Neil fermented it.

Gave it a lot of extra boil time (around 45 min before the 65min hop addition) to ensure enough evaporation. Note that we withdrew 2 litres from the mash into a 4 litre glass carboy and topped it up to 4 litres with remaining sparge water, then gradually added it back in during the boil.

1/2 campden, 5g yeast nutrient and cooler in place 20min before the end of boil. Cooled to ~80degC before dumping in hops. Continuous whirlpool (Neil w paddle) for 20min, then bottom tap via hose to bottom of Neil's fermenter. Allowed to cool overnight, in the brewshed.
