Notes

Many issues with this beer. Brewed on a day where power was cut just as the wort was ready to boil. Hand to switch from electricity to gas. Because of unfamiliarity with boil off rates over boiled by 3.5 litres leading to an original gravity increase from 1038 to 1048.

Efficiency of the yeast was greatly improved by the increase in fermentability of the wort caused by adding the glucoamylase enzyme.

Final gravity was 1002 and the efficiency rate of the yeast was adjusted to 95%

Beer is a beautiful clear golden yellow. Good flavour and a hint of sweetness due to the monkfruit sugar.

Very drinkable
