Notes

Added a little sugar syrup (homemade from cane sugar) at the end (boil over-reduced my wort so I pitched lower OG second runnings to fill the carboy, resulting in an overall OG of 1.069 before I added the syrup (aim was 1.075 ish). I ended up with 1.084 and so I've altered the ingredients (Just added an extra 2.4oz cane sugar to the ingredients section as if it had been added in the boil) to reflect that so I can predict how the beer goes more easily. All because I didn't have enough water pre-boil, nor space in my tiny pans to boil a larger amount.

Beer is 2 days in though now and looking/smelling/tasting great, strong already and plenty of sweetness left to ferment.
