Its around 70 conditioning temp. But I tried the muntons carbonation drops this time. From this batch results I don't believe I'll be using them again. OG was around 1.044 I don't have my notes for specifics. FG was around 1.010 before adding the mango in secondary. Primary for two weeks...

Brewed today. Was a little darker in color than I thought it would be and was a little more hoppy than I anticipated, but this was the first recipe I designed from scratch. The hops should have a toned down effect after fermentation and secondary with the mangos. All I can do is wait now and see.
