Notes

Will divide finished wort. 16 to ferment as usual 4 litres into a separate fermenter to be watered back to half strength, so a lower strength version basically. Same yeast.
1.049 OG bang on in main fermenter. 1.015 3 days 32g Chinook 15g Casacde dry hop
5 litres in separate container watered down to 9 litres. 1.027 OG (after dilution). 1.007 3 days. Dry hopped 23g EKG
