Comments:
Start temp high for first 12-24hrs to encourage more ester creation .. judges thought the last one was a bit boring. Might also add a bit of flavour hops (maybe saaz) Variations where 10kg of Pilsner
34gms of Nelson Sauvin @ 60min
15gms of Saaz @ 15 min Ok lots of changes, thanks to Micheal and Matt for participating and your input to the brewday: Steps: 43c @ 15min
50C @ 5 min
67C @ 60 min Because of the low yeast count, only cooled 1/2 and no chilled the other 1/2 Have some more yeast growing and will add it when ready with the other 1/2 of the wort.
