Notes

A simple but great recipe.

I created it to test out a new brew set up...but great tasting beer for improving your brewing skills/honing brewing numbers or for beginners starting out. Will leave you with a great tasting beer at the end!

IBUs have been kept low on purpose...but this should serve as a base recipe to tweak. Change the hops to your taste...1st hop is for a light bittering and the second hop is all flavour and aroma.
