Notes

v.2: addition of Carafe produces a great colour, and an almost nutty taste (good).
Poor head retention but happy otherwise! Will do this again.


v.1 the original recipe called for Crystal 120, but this was unavailable, so subbed this is Crystal 80. Colour obviously lighter than desired.

Should have added a fining agent - 3 weeks in the bottle and it's still cloudy, but first bottle was good. I anticipate this will need at least another month to age.
