Notes

Hit OG of 1007; FG was 1002. Colour was very dark (perhaps too dark).

Left it in the fermenter for a week - was somewhat worried I might get an infection given the ABV is so low, but doesn't seem to have happened.

If you re-brew, I recommend reducing the IBU. It is too bitter for the low ABV.
