Notes

After Boil I whirlpool anticlockwise, let sit in the Urn for 45mins.
Decant into fermentor. First couple o hundred mls is trub and toss till runs clear, then collect.
Let cool o/night, into fridge, get it down to 18c. Give the Wort a huge stir and add the Yeast. Takes about 24 hrs till I see bubble action.
Day 5 add 15 mls Bio-Fine Clear (A3).
10 days ferment at 18C.
Cold Crash @ 2C for 4 days.
Sit at ambient for 24 hrs then Bottle.
Bottle condition @ 20c minimum for 14 days.
Chill to 2c drink n Enjoy!
The Original Gravity for this Brew was 1.060.
Don’t know why the calculator came up with 1.032?
