Notes

2nd batch i subbed ekg hops for 2 oz of mt hood 5.5aa

3rd batch i only had .75kg amber malt subbed in .25 dark munich
as well, i used canadian 2 row instead of MO. Used wyeast esb. Not a fan after 2 days, very estery. Hopefully it settles. Significantly less less malt backbone with 2 row

4th batch, recommend london 3 again and MO backbone. 1.052 og

5th batch MO ekg, 1 1/4 tsp lactic to get ph5.63

6th batch, half the biscuit, 250g more MO. 1.86oz williamette instead of ekg. 2 oz fuggles and .45 oz ekg for 5 og 1.052, 1.010 fg. Far too bitter. Utilize full amt of biscuit next time and less yeast.
