Notes

BREWGR NOTES

Do again. Yes. Lovely.

MM Kit - Recipe was SafLager S-189. Used Wyeast wheat yeast. Not sure why I used wrong yeast, but it is the same yeast as last great Bock I did, possibly confusion with this and multiple buy. Not quite carbonated enough.

Attenuation - 77%

6.5/10 - 8.4%

Recipe OG: 1.078 FG: 1.018 ABV 7.8%

OG 1082. FG 1018. 8.4%
