Notes

mainly getting rid of my gambrius malt. It is okay but there are similar or better options cheaper.

Got the real British ale recipe book and torrified wheat and sugar all over the place. Giving this a run on this recipe before I do it on my bombardier clone.

Don't know why BF calculating ABV so high. I ended up adding 2lb of sugar instead of 1lb to hit 1.055 post boil gravity
