Notes

Honey added 5 days after start of fermentation. Efffeciency may be higher with honey so expected OG will have to be guessed (Honey added later).

29 Litres
Original recipe OG = 1045

            FG  = 1016<br />
            ABV = 3.63%<br />
            SRM = 6-7<br />

29Litres
After Honey.est OG = 1056

            FG  = 1017-19<br />
            ABV = 4.8%- 5.5<br />




Returned to RT (22-04-15)-increase FG
Pushing FG to 1015 will give an ABV of 5.29


33L (25-04-15)
2.5L water added OG = 1049

              FG  = 1014<br />
              ABV = 4.65<br />
              IBU = 40.54<br />

adding 2.5 L extra of Sterile water (now 33L after racking from hop matter)should bring down FG to 1014 and give ABV of 4.65% (FG 1012 on 3/5/15, ABV now 4.83%)

34.5L (03-05-15)
added 1.5 sterile water .. now 34.5L

               OG =  1047<br />
               FG =  1012<br />
               ABV=  4.62<br />
               IBU = 38.78 <br />
