Notes

Black IP kit from Beer Hawk
My boil volume was 29 litres as my boiling pan is large and I loose a lot of water to evaporation. Final volume in fermenter was 18 litres.

Two temp mash rather than normal one temp mash

Specific gravity below target at the end of mash so added some brown sugar @100grams and dark spray malt 200grams to boost sugar levels.

After boil managed 1.052

Dry hopped on day 7 of fermentation

It is dry and hoppy with a interesting flavour worth a try.
