Notes

Brewed 22/09/18.
SG1070 (SG1060 before recirculating mash and sparge water at 75°C. (Error?)

SG1014 28/09/18 (day 6). Increase temp to 19°C. Tastes very bitter and mildly hoppy flavour/aroma.

SG1012 3/10/18 (day 11). Dry hop 30g Simcoe. Increase temp to 20°C.

7/10/18 (day 15) remove dry hops cold crash to approx 3°C.

10/10/18 (day 18) keg. Force carb to 2.0 volumes.
Tasted 13/10, extremely bitter and full of hop flavour, very impressed with hop utilisation. Mildly malty, no alcohol flavour present. Brew again!
