Notes

Water used: North Yorkshire tap water.
65 min mash @ 65.5ºC (some small fluctuations, overshooting by 1º ish). Recirculating throughout.
Sparge with around 2L of 65-70ºC water.
75 min boil: Chinook added after 15 mins, Lactose + sugar added after 65 mins. Do not add whirlfloc or Irish moss, this beer wants to be cloudy.
After boil, top up with water if needed.
Late hop additions (hopback) @ 85ºC for 15 mins, finally removed once wort was at pitching temp.
3 dry hop additions, first after 3 days in fermenter, second 3 days later and final 2 days after that. Each time removing the previous addition to avoid grassy flavours.
Half a Vanilla pod added 2 days after the final addition of hops when all fermentation was complete. Leaving the hops in with Vanilla for 2 days before bottling.

Fermentation was in 10 days @ around 20ºC, might have dropped a bit at night so it could have finished in even less time.

I bottled using light DME spray malt, ideally I wold have used an extra light version to avoid too much discolouration. However the final product is a deep and hazy orangey-brown colour, reminiscent of freshly pressed juice!

Ultimately it smells, tastes and looks extremely professional. I would go with more lactose next time and maybe add Huell Melon to the hop profile.

Very pleased with this beer!
