Notes

Mashed at 63C for 90 mins. Simple cold sparge with 8 liters of cold water.

Had to top up with 5 gallons of cold water post boil in the end because my boiler is unreasonably efficient. Still came out at the .042 OG so all was good.

Seemed to brew out to FG within a couple of days, so I can only assume that MG's abbey yeast is powerful stuff.

Initial sample is pleasant and citrussy, and bitterness is bang-on. Smells a bit like an adult um-bongo. Beer is still dry hopping. Will update when final product is sampled.

This is an adaptation of a brewdog recipe which I think maybe gets a few calculations wrong:
