Notes

Tweaked from Chris "Harry" Harrison's original recipe.

NOTE ########

I have added the Acid Malt to bring down the mash pH.

The recommendation by Chris is an OG of 1.036.
So, if you achieve the above 1.048 @ 19 Lt into the FV then you will need to add 6.3 Lt to achieve the right OG. This will mean an overall volume of 25.3 Lt. Considering there will be Trub Losses after Fermentation you should get at least 22 Lt (44 pints) out of this recipe.

I ran out of Mosaic so substituted the remnants of a packet of Citra (18g)
