Notes

Soak chips for 2 weeks, add to fermenter for one week, this is going to extract a lot of tennins but it will calm down after a month of bottle conditioning

Questions before next revision

More esters? - co pitch? Or is it too much yeast?

mash higher at around 69c for more body?

Remove smoked malt, it didn't add a thing - replace with 300g of beech smoked malt + 100 gram of crystal 60??

verdant or bry87 may help with this+adding more body because of the lower attenuation
