Notes

Dry hopped straight to fermenter after two days during increase in fermentation temp.

Final Gravity came in at 1.006 suggesting 88% attenuation for the yeast??

Brewed 28/01/2022 Bottled 06/02/2022 ABV by hydrometer readings 5.78%

Tasting after two weeks in bottle. Very clear golden beer. Balanced beer. Malt forward. Good white persistent head. Good drinking.

The Bush Curlew is a ground dwelling bird very common in Taylors Beach. It has blonde streaks through its head plumage. Its shrieks and cries at night are blood curdling.
