Notes

Strike water vol 24.5L
Using less sugar than previously, let it ferment out longer for a drier finish
10g more Hallertau than previously
Add 50g Hallertau bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil.
Add the sugar with 15 minutes left in the boil.
Add whole whirlfloc with 5 minutes left in the boil
Pre boil vol 22.5L
Post-boil vol 19L
Topped up to 2L
Target pitch yeast temp 20c, actual 22c. 10:45pm.Wrapped in cold towel.
SG: 1.063, target was 1.061
Spunding valve open for the first 24 hours then spund at 2PSI
FG seemed to be 1.024 so ABV corrected could be 7.46%?
Will take 7 days to ferment fully but with lower sugar, it was finished (and FZ1 was leaking) so Day 5 kegged it. Pressure at c2.5PSI, needs carbing and chilling
