Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Brew-day went smoothly, sparged a bit extra as I realised my boil off was going to be high, worked out the right volume but way over gravity, gonna have to liqour back some, this is meant to be my hot weather beer for the summer, not a strong one! Wort in the fermenter looks a bit darker than I imagined, like I accidentally caramelised some of my wort. No scorching on the fermenter though. We'll see what it tastes like in a few months, fingers crossed!

You wanted an OG of 1.047. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

This turned out perfectly to my taste for a lager. Clean, refreshing, just the right amount of bitterness and enough malt to make it interesting. Hits the spot when you want a straight up refreshing beer. Was never really fussed by lager in the past but now I always want something like this around.
