You wanted an OG of 1.074. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Really good taste on the basic batch. Well worth doing again, but keep the hops in for a bit longer before the final bottling.

Notes:

Bottled the extra 2L amount today... this is incredible. It has been on the yeast and hops since 3 November!

Notes:

Moved into fridge today, give it 1-2 weeks to see where this goes. Not sure I like the Rakau

Notes:

Crazy full on with hops... hopping only one day and then bottling not such a good idea!
