Notes

The English Malt I used was from Kansas Malt company the SRM comes in at 3.59 so it will be a litter "darker" "Oranger" The English Malt I used was the closest Lovibond/SRM to the Kansas Malt companies English Pale Malt.

I added home grown WET Comet hops at flame out and whirlpool. AA is unknown. I used 11AA as a base

This beer came out nicely. very clean despite the large amount of fresh comet hops. I would dial back the amount of fresh hops in my batch next year, as the grassy...slight onion was a bit much even after conditioning an additional 4 weeks (8 week beer in total before serving). Although, my AA is unknow for my hops, I believe, based on the out come, that they are every bit in the range of 11AA. My opinion of course, because I have no real way of knowing the AA. Mouth feel was lacking, I may add wheat next year to give it mouth and head retention. I will also dial back the many different varieties of hops I added. I was getting rid of my leftover hops. I did this beer no favors, as I believe the many different varities clashed and muddled up the hop cleanliness/ brightness. All in all, it was drinkable and the bitterness /freshness was every bit of a hop heads wish, but I believe a lighter hand with hops and adding to the malt base to balance a bit will do this beer many favors. Look for WAC is BACK in 2025.
