Notes

Collected 24L wort. Last runnings were 8 Brix. Pre-boil wort was 14.2 Brix. Forgot Dextose! May have shocked some of the yeast by pouring some beer into hot dextrose. Ended up missing 1075 target by diluting to 1072.

Finished dry in the end, down to 1010 after 2 weeks.

Caustic bitterness. Needs balancing with some crystal and total hopping rates reined in. Came through very American, with the dry hop lost a bit. Perhaps go steadier on the hop stand. I think the utilisation must have been higher than 10%
