Notes

Original recipe from Duane Beersmith called for 1 ounce, 5%AA East Kent Goldings. My 1 ounce of homegrown hops at 60 minutes would be 13.58 IBUs. The recipe called for 1 ounce of Kent Goldings at 5% AA which is 16.6 IBUs. I have 0.6 ounces of hops of Woodbine left at 7.75% AA which would make 14.03 IBUs so I am using those and finishing them up.

I reused the yeast from October 2021, Batch 123 and made a double starter and it was very active once it got going which took about 36 hours.
