Notes

Got 82% efficiency because I ran a 5h mash - for family reasons (pool party?). Raised temp to 77oC for extended mash out - got v clear wort. Left it hot o/n.

Completed this brew on gas burner owing to power outage.
Some of the beer took a while to strain out of the hop spider, so I reboiled it for 15min in the kitchen and diluted around 40% to get a lower alcohol beer. Bottles show 4Feb 4% (estimate). I also bottled some of the main batch on 4Feb before dry hopping.
Bottled the remainder on 6 Feb - most had one sugar drop and carried a standard label. I ran out of sugar drops, so I added belgian candi sugar: ~15g into boiling hot water, dissolved and then added to fermenter. Labeled as 6 Feb Candi.

Started crash cool soon after adding dry hops. Beer had been at ~1oC for at least a few hours (~1.5-2d later) before I commenced bottling. Used some CO2 purge on the comp bottle to minimize oxidation risk.

The abv and IBU isn't quite right on this ... something didn't save properly here. And I have no other notes - though I recall IBU was in 30's and ABV was potentially as high as 6.3%
