It turned out pretty good....It could have more aroma so next time I will dry hop as this time I didn't do this...
The finish is good to, with enough bitterness...
But what I want to add is more body. A friend describe it as been "to watery". Of which I would agree....a little too light.
So, what would I add/adjust to get more body. I am thinking something has to change in the grain bill..
Any suggestions??
