Notes
Mash
Total Water Needed : 22L
Mash Water : 16L
Sparge Water : 6L
It was very heavy to mash in and needed to use the pump to circulate some of the liquid to get all the grains fully soaked.
The mash was very slow may need some more oat husks added to improve this.
Boil
Liquorice added at 30 mins.
Fermentation
In the fermenter for 2 weeks, ended up very high.
May try to changing the mash steps to see if a simpler approach fixes it.
Packaging
9L into a keg and 2.5L into bottles.
