Notes

Was going to make it with medium darkness crystal malt, but I only had light and dark so I tried it with Brown Malt instead.
Water started of just below 80deg (5 kettles), after adding the grain it had gone down to 63, so maybe a little bit too cool. However, will see how it goes.
Checked the temp half an hour later and it was 67C ?!?!??!
All else went to plan.
Ended up with ~7.5l @1046 @26degC (1047 adjusted)
Added 1.5l of water, so it should be 1039. Ever slightly stronger than estimated.

Bottling day! Bottled it good and proper with my little bottler. Easy.
Final stregth was 1012@16deg (1011 adjusted). Therefore good for about 3.8% ABV.
Tastes good, very light in colour and taste. Maybe a bit thin? Maybe some time in the bottle with help round it out. (It's in the purple caps)This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
