Notes

Brewed 19/1/24

Pre-boil 1.042 (target 1.040) reduced boil length by 12 mins
OG 1.047
FG 1.012
ABV 4.65%

21/1/24 Pitched 2 (large) packs (no starter)

Slow start to fermentation. Fermenting strongly by 24/1. Ramped up temp from 19 to 22°C over the first few days.

Raised to 23°C as fermentation slowed.

Actively fermenting on 28/1/24

1/2/24 Still some bubbles in blow off but should be done (hopefully just off-gassing). Bottled 5 beers for comp. Tasting great - lightly spicy, with belgian fruity yeast character and pleasant low bitterness. Really well balanced.
