Notes

vanilla for 7-14 days
236-414ml bourbon

First time put this on a large yeast cake of nottingham from the Bateman's XXXB bitter. It didn't really finish that well so co-pitching S05 and Nottingham for second rep.

Swapping in HBC472 for Magnum bittering and EKG flavouring at 10.
Ran out of HBC472, switching back to Magnum and EKG.
