Notes

We brewed a 10g batch of this about 6 weeks ago. It turned out amazing. So much so we went through 4gallons at a small Xmas party in a night. Wowzer.

I posted some pictures of the initial test batch. The recipe has now been updated to reflect a larger batch since it was such a hit. We're still tweaking it a bit - thinking of adding some more grain to boost the abv to 5% and a bit more hops for that lemony finish.

Were hoping to brew this one in early January 2020.
