Notes

Two variations from best practice :

  1. Didnt boil enough sparge water, so had to leave Mash for extra 40mins after first run off, before able to sparge.
  2. Put hops into tea strainers. Worked well for the 30g additions, but the 60g ones filled up so full that not real circulation allowed. Probably inhibited the flavour addition for the last 10 and 5 mins additions.
