Notes

Had a problem with initial yeast pitch and had to repitch separately kveik and MJ31. Then all was fine. D3 visible fermentation done.

9-18 (D70) -
Very clear. Light golden color...like Duvel.
Aroma good - light & clean.
Taste: not sweet - quite dry. More like Duvel than Leffe
Wait a month and try again

Next Batch:
Add Abbey & increase Biscuit to increase malt aroma
