Notes

Somewhat of an experiment. Used AI to make an IPA type amber ale to use up left over hops. Sabro is quite aromatic and flavoursome. Last time I used it got hop burn after kegging but settled beautifully after a week or so in keg.
Whirlpool additions to go in after flameout, cool wort to ~80°C, add hops, stir occasionally, and hold for ~20 min before chilling.) Using RO water. Separate calculator used for water
I would not follow this reciipe until I actually brew it! I will update after brew and final taste. Will delete it not good.
