Notes

Yeast options:

  • Wyeast 1968
  • White Labs WLP002

    HBA recipe had some loose ends:
  • Type of wheat malt unspecified, I chose German.
  • 105L crystal malt replaced with 90L crystal malt.
  • Brown sugar should be dark brown sugar.
  • No dry hop duration specified, I chose three days.
