Notes

Brewing this at room temp as brewing fridge in use but is Autumn here in Perth Australia right now and household temp pretty constant around 20°C.
At Day 1 SG1058 in Coopers plastic (no airlock) plastic fermenter.
Dry hopped day 3 as krausen died down significantly and SG now 1008. This calculated to ABV of 6.56%. Overnight mash helped saccharification which then helped the attenuation in the
The verdict?
After a pint it certainly felt like 6.56%
As to taste a little yeasty and hoppy as yet although quite drinkable. A week or two more in the keg should sort that out.
