D0: Super smooth Brew Day. Extended mash to 90 minutes
OG: 1.064
D1: Fermentation super strong
D2: Fermentation slowing
D4: Fermentation almost done - starting to clear.
W3: Bottled 15 liters

1st Taste 5-28 (2 weeks in bottle)
Color on target
Clarity - slightly hazy
Aroma - very balanced between malty and hoppy
Head - very big white fluffy head....actually a little too much
Taste - very balanced....too balanced maybe. but super drinkable.

Next time:
add some orange peel & coriander
increase candi sugar
increase BU/GU ratio
add aroma hops at 5 min or later
decrease wheat
Mash Step 1: increase from 65 to 66 C
Yeast: swap WLP500 for higher flocculation yeast
