I'm the craftsman formerly known as Randall
Can't actually remember the spec and can't be arsed looking it up as it's almost certainly changed since I worked there. It's not brewed these days at The Shovel anyway; went to SAB and now it's Tooheys I think...
30 sounds too high for a beer that's only 4.5% abv and has an AE around 2.0 plato. That'd really stick out. Mid/low 20s I'd say.
Hey Dig, I'll be arsed for you
Here is my recipe based on some comments you made a while back.
I think you tasted V1.0 and V1.1 and it was the beer I was having an acetaldehyde problem with
Golden Ale ver1.0
