Brewer's Notes

'Rice solids' were flaked rice in the mash. Chinook flowers were added in the mash, not at flameout. 8% AA northern brewer was US, 9.5% ones were DE. Very slow ferment culminated in pitching a sachet of S-33 16 weeks into the ferment. Ferment went from 18-20 at start to 24 up to 30 after pitching S-33. Recovered well from a brutal fermentation regime and finished with a final gravity of 1.010. Bottled with 7g/L sugar, and finished up quite clear, higher carbonation helped the flavour balance quite well but next time I will try 10% maize and 10% rice to make it a little less corny-sweet.
