Preboil volume was 15L @ 1.056 at 25C (1.057).
2hr boil. Hops added after one hour.
Coriander was whole and added to the hop sock about at about 30 mins before end.
Boiled off too much and topped up cube with about 1L of boiling water. (approx 2.5L boiloff per hour).
No chill cubed.
Pitched 17.7.18 onto 2L yeast cake of a Belgian Blonde with WY1214 at 18C. OG 1.074 I think due to the suspended yeast trub, but I'm sticking with the calculated values of 1.089.

Special Instructions
1.Ferment at 20C until fermentation complete
2.Rack to Secondary (22C) for 14 days
3.Bottle to 2.5 volumes of CO2 (65g dextrose for 9L)
Bottled 21.8.18 Surprisingly clean. Yeast had dropped out after secondary. Slighty ashy apple twang on bottling (candi syrup). Elderberry aroma. Tropical fruit notes mostly absent :-( Will see how it goes. Thinking of malt/dextrose only recipe next time and using specialty malts for colour.
