Notes

Copied and conveerted to metric off a Facebook post of a clone of Bushy's bitter. Acknowledgement to D Horbury. His recipe used Brewfather and ABV of 4.1% This one verually the same but aiming a bit higher at 4.9%. calculaor above says 5% above but I am rarely on target. I also adjusted the amount of Hops according to what I already had on hand.Brew date 7/1/2025 hopefully
