Man I ended up really short on volume, that wheat must suck up wort... Obvs the mega hop stand soaks some up too. Got 9l just over OG (minus the sugar though), gonna add sugar in a bit of water to try and get 2 nearly full mini kegs out of it.

Notes:

Oh wow, this is great, really fruity hop and yeast combo, great full silky mouthfeel. Orangey citrus, peach and a hint of malty sweetness. Looks a little cloudy but that doesn't bother me. First DIPA I've brewed and it's a really good one.
