Notes

BREWGR NOTES

MM Kit - Rate: 9/10 ABV: 5.5% Attenuation: 80%

Recipe: OG: 1060 FG: 1014 ABV: 5.9%
Achieved: OG: 1052 FG: 1010 ABV:5.5%

Notes: Didn't dry hop, added it at 55 mins, couldn't be bothered. Undershot. Did mash way too low by mistake. Or too much sparge.

Do again: Hell yes. One of my best ever brews. Really good. Nice bitterness. Perfect carbonation.
