Notes

Brewed on 24th Jun 24:
Added 1st and 2nd round hops and raisins bagged and both removed before transfer to primary
Only acheived an OG of 1064 on refractometer before adding rye bread
Added rye bread to primary to acheive a calculated SG of 1069
4 days later added 55g of demarara sugar and 5g of Beer Brite (didn't disolve, so majority binned) for priming and bottled.
Acheived an FG of 1020 on Hydrometer.

Maybe leave another day or two before bottling?
