Notes

This is a brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) recipe which assumes a brewhouse efficiency of 68%.
I recommend a longer 90 minute mash at 62C to ensure this level of efficiency
Check the pre-boil and temperature-adjusted gravity to make final adjustments to amount of candi sugar or substitute to be added in last 15 minutes of boil, to achieve target OG
