  • Gladfield Ale, Biscuit & Wheat Malts (N.Z.) used.
  • Wheat and oats added to aid in head retention.

    31/7/16
  • Strike Temp. - 70C
  • Dry pitched x2 rehydrated yeasts, fermenter Temp set to 18C

    13/8/16
  • SG: 1020. Some choc flavour and a mild lingering mint finish. Dry pitched a pack of M44 yeast to try and bring down FG.

    21/8/16 - Bottle using drops
  • FG: 1016. ABV: 5.5%
