11/2 4.84 HLT pH 151-152 mash rest 5.22/1.073 first 5.39 second 5.63/1.007 final 5.31/1.038 pre 5mL H3PO4@EOB 1.044 OG, 5.26 post, KO@70F Super smooth, easy brew. Set temp controller to 69F, actively fermenting 18 hours later. Will bump up 70F at end of day, then 71F tomorrow. 11/8@1.010@71F 11/13@1.009-1.010@65F. Kegged with dry hops. Reduced the golding dry hop by .25oz. 11/25. Tapped about 10 days ago. Color is about right on 5-6 SRM. White foam. Pretty clear. Sweet malt, light biscuit, and floral aroma. Toasted bread, with jammy hops tucked in. Bitterness keeps balance. Slight drying finish. Real British tasting, in the best way. Nice depth to the beer without getting in its own way. Amber malt and GNO gives this slight candy bar dimension to the beer that makes it a bit sweeter than its color would let on.
