Notes

Notes after several tasting (29/12/20):
Good, malty - remove mineral additions, too much magnesium and calcium. Remove oats, go full 7% terrified wheat. More biscuit / amber malt.
Maybe - 80% Maris otter, 7% crystal light, 7% terrified wheat, 5% biscuit, 1% pale chocolate. Tony bit more hops on aroma (12g both flavour and aroma addition)

Made some changes, but check the acid, doesn't seem to be correct?
