Notes

22/2/19 - Batch #1 (50% Eff.)

  • Made to clean out spare hops ended up with a single hop beer.
  • Used Quick Oats (500g) and IPA/DIPA Water profile.
  • Very windy and wet brew day, low efficiency too.
    3/3/19 - SG: 1014, dry hopped.
    7/3/19 - SG: 1013, cold crashed.
    13/3/19 - Kegged and carbed, looking very pale straw.
    12/4/19 - Not an amazing beer, not terrible, just meh. Has mellowed a bit with age, earthy and fruit flavours.
