Notes
Profile based on this schedule from Weyermann: https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/V2-Munich-Helles-with-Weyermann.pdf
Scored 38 in BrewoVision 2025 and made 1st place in 4A Munich Helles to go forward to the final (yet to be held)
Judges wanted a touch more bitterness.
Note that my hydrometer is reading 2 points below actual.
