Notes

Cannot find rice hulls so had to use oat husks for the same purpose of improving flow through grain bed during mash as high wheat malt proportion in the grain bill could cause flow issues.
2-step mash to encourage hydrolysis of ferulic acid to promote the signature clove-like flavours.
Mangrove Jack's MD20 yeast should provide banana flavours at Fermented at 20oC
