Notes

Consider adding Dark Wheat to recipe.

1st place 2020 Amador County Fair (entered as XY Amber)
2nd place 2020 (Unofficial) NHC San Francisco 1st Round (entered as Air Raid Amber)

Made a version swapping out 4 oz of Victory for 2 oz of Melanoidin. Seems too malty; maybe add back 2 oz of Victory and reduce Melanoidin to 1 oz.
