Notes

BREWGR NOTES

Do again. Nah. Though I didn’t get it right. But big on choc type dark malts, not my thing.

MM kit. 6.5/10 - 7.1%

Attenuation - 81%

Too high ABV. Didn’t help. Mashed too high - 70C not 67C for whole hour. Good bold flavour. Bready. Recipe said dry hop twice, I did once.

Recipe OG: 1.064 FG: 1.014 ABV 6.6%

OG 1066. FG 1012. 7.1%
