Notes

Ok crazy experiment time, tried this at suggested mashed at 72 c !

Which I was not aware destroys efficiency ... expecting 70% got under 60%

High mash = lots of non fermentable sugars ...Yeast efficiency dropped from 70 ish % to 51% (Used London III)

Expected finishing gravity of 1.013 became 1.019

So 4.2 ish % brew became 2.7 %

Ok despite all of that... It tastes pretty good ! There is almost enough body and mouthfeel to convince you it's a tasty beer. Feels like it's 90% there .. It's kinda amazing really. At this low Abv , I had to drop my the second dry hop of 90g as it's already a bit thin, sharp and spritzy.

Next time with the numbers dialed in I'll aim for 3.5% Abv and drop the mash temp to maybe 70 c. Taste and see if it can handle a second round of dry hops.
