Notes

Could add amylase enzyme during mash (about 1.25 tbsp) - let's save for batch #2 to get a feel for dryness pre-amylase.

Consider adding sugar to boil if we scale this up to higher abv

ALDC enzyme at yeast pitch.

Hop utilization of 4% based loosely on results of attached study and experience with my brewing system: https://homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/effect-post-boilwhirlpool-hop-additions-bitterness-beer/
