Notes

Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.

Briess Pils malt used but Extra Lite shown in recipe for higher PPG.

Minimash with 0.375kg of LME at 67 degrees for 45 mins. This high mash temp is to get mouthfeel be retaining some of the low temp sugars. Check OG after mash. Mash OG 1 point below.

2 + 1 litre ice and some chilled water required to quick chill wort.

Aerate wort with air stone for 10 minutes. Yeast enzyme in boil.

Overfilled fermenter by 0.5L and missed 1062OG.

Fresh pack of Abbaye Yeast used. Pitched at 16-17c on 30 August. Kept low for 2-3 days and then allowed to increase to 19c and then moved to warmer kitchen after 6-7 days.

Racked to secondary on 9 September.

Bottled 19 September 2015.
