Notes

BREWGR NOTES

Do again. Yes.

MM kit. - 8.5/10 - 6.4%

Recipe target - OG 1047 FG 1008 5.2%

OG 1049. FG 1000. (yes 1000) 6.4%

Attenuation - 100% (really?)

Noters: Dry yeast was a good Saison flavour. Brewmaster fermented. Hop pellets clogged fermenter badly, used muslin bags, not good.

Think the ferment temp below is wrong. Should be 26-32C? On my Google search.

Got zero orange flavour. Suggest more oranges.
