Notes: .
– Based on Epiphany Triple from Brew like a Monk
– Used Hallertauer Magnum (Bittering hop) instead of Tettnang as had in fridge
– Did full 90 min boil
– Yeast acted funny. Didn't start till 21 ºC. But went well at 22ºC for a week
– Split batch. Half 70g and 100g sugar

Do again: Halve the honey. It was flat… Well, after 10 months it got a lot better but was it worth the wait? Nah.
