Notes

BREWGR NOTES

Rate: 7/10

ABV: 6%
Yeast attenuation: 74-80%
My attenuation: 88%
Aroma: Dry with slightly acidic finish. While fruit forward.
Do differently: more sugar at bottling.

Recipe: OG: 1046 FG: 1008 ABV: 5%
Achieved: OG: 1054 FG: 1006 ABV: 6%

Notes:

  • Very banana flavour
  • Recipe from www.candisyrup.com. I used Malt Miller syrup. Used all syrup (500g) Plus -Vienna is honey sweet so beer turned out too sweet.
  • Added 150g Torrified wheat.
  • Yeast didn't really start until it hit 19°C
  • Not terribly carbonated.

    Do again: it was okaaay. However Arun from brew club thought was best beer I’ve brewed.
