Notes

Try a Ferulic Acid Rest next time. See here for details: https://learn.beerandbrewing.com/courses/take/advanced-all-grain-methods/texts/8160912-ferulic-acid-rest

Wheat needs to be milled separately from munich and 2row.

OG was 1.042 with 55% efficiency which is really not idea.

FG was 1.013 which is 71% attenuation for a ABV of 3.84%.

Goal ABV was between 5-5.5%, see notes above for ideas on increasing efficiency next time.
