Notes

The goal of Version 2 is to slightly increase sweetness at consumption time without affecting final ABV if possible.

  1. Raise mash temp from 147 to 152.
    • which should have the effect of a slightly sweeter beer & i'd expect slightly less fermentable, which would lower the final ABV.
  2. Add back some fermentable to the boil to maintain final ABV in the mid 5% range.
