Notes

This is actually more an Australian Sparkling Ale, but I like to keep the alcohol a bit lower as I tend to drink in volume in the heat, especially when doing lawns, garden, barbecue or otherwise working outdoors.

Ferment at 20C for a beer that is very drinkable after about a week (4 days ferment, 2 cold crash, force carbonate to 2.5 volumes.)

Ferment at 14C for a lager-like beer, but it will take twice as long, especially if you include a diacetyl rest (smell it - I don't think it's needed with Notty and Joe White/Marris Otter.)

I use Pilsen water profile as it simply involves boiling the local water and adding 1g chalk and 5ml lactic acid. Quite neutral, but Notty is fine with it.

Oh, and ignore the reported DP - Brewers Friend stuffs up on custom ingredients and they refuse to acknowledge it.
