Notes

This is my first ever attempt at my own recipe. In the fermenter now.

{First edit}: Needed more yeast and dry hopping for my taste. Added into recipe.

Colour was good and the foundations of what I was after were there. But I didn't notice any visible signs of fermentation on the first batch. The sample tasted malty sweet when I took FG reading and the beer didn't carbonate very strongly during conditioning. Assuming this was because there wasn't enough yeast to break down the priming sugar as much as I've seen in previous brews I've done. Will keep working on it!
