Notes

Mashed in at sabalised with an electro thermometer at 66celcius for 45". (no conversion yet with iodine test it appeared). Started to circulate mash and re-adjust temp. After 2 1/2 hours, put a sample on a paper towel, lifted and tested strained liquor and test positive. Lesson learned.

Flavour and Aroma East Kent Golding hops were evenly divided!! I retro we will see.

Vigorous fermentation at 19c after an overnight in 2 carboys. 1 dry yeast, one wet yeast.

note:
add rice hulls for future. Had a stuck mash... very rare I get one if ever

Dec 17... tasted! Dangerously smooth and highly quaffable :)
