Rate: 6/10
Malt Miller Kit

ABV: 5.25%
Yeast: Fermentis Safale US-05
Attenuation: 80%
My attenuation: 79%
Aroma: Neutral
Do differently: Don’t dry hop ever again!

Recipe: OG: 1048 FG: 1011 ABV: 5%
Achieved: OG: 1048 FG: 1010 ABV: 5.25%

Notes:

  • John Finch.
  • Used 18L of mash water as 12L seemed light (50% more than i'd usual)
  • 75 min boil.
  • Very cloudy with lots of hop debris on bottling.

    Do again: - Nah. A bit ruby type dark IPA style. It was very liked by brew club.
