Notes

The homegrown hops are "Victoria Hops" grown from rhizomes from White House Nursery, in Melbourne, Australia. Their AA is an estimate.

I used the 8 x dry hop mass formula, so where I mention 20g of homegrown Victoria, I'm actually using 160g of wet fresh picked hop cones within minutes of plucking from the vines.
