Notes

Added first addition hops in mash
Sparge - measured 10 litres started boil at 26.5 litres
Just prior to boil add 5 drops Axe Foam
20 min - put immersion chiller in boil
10 min - Add whir floc tablet

After Boil
15 mins whirlpool
Whirlpool at 82 C and add phantasm powder (100g)
20 mins to settle, commence chill

OG: 1.060; FG 1.017;
Fermentation 20C, very active on days 2-3 and then finished around day 5. Lower then expected gravity.
Kegged and chilled, then rekegged 24 hours later and let sit in fridge for 10 days.
Has tropical notes but found a predominate banana flavour similar to a Hefeweizen
