Took IBU reference from: https://byo.com/article/belgian-blond-style-profile/

Additional advice on using Maris Otter (which helps us make a bigger batch with only 2kg of Pilsner available) found here: https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-belgian-blond-ale/

Sugar to be added at 15 mins in the boil. Add hot wort to the sugar in a jug, mix and add it back into the boil.
