Notes

A Oceania take on a Trappist Blone.

Based on TMF's Westwletern VI clone https://www.themadfermentationist.com/2016/04/westvleteren-belgian-blond-clone-recipe.html (with his recommended changes for upping hopping and reducing ale malt ratio).

But using Aus/NZ ingredients. Dr Rudi for bittering, Hallertau -> Pacifica, and StyGo -> Ella/Motueka (not sure about this substitution - I might have gone for Pacific Gem but couldn't source it).

NB: I planned to have ~5% cane sugar, but ended up with a far better efficiency so dropped it. Once I've adjusted efficiency for fly sparge, can add the 5% cane sugar back.
