Lessons

  • As it’s cold outside the kettle can’t maintain a vigorous boil with the left off. it needs to be put on cocked.
  • Trust your sums. I’d only planned to boil for 30 minutes but there was too much flour so I boiled for an extra 30 and then there wasn’t enough (hence the aNB being higher than planned despite the lower OG
  • The OG is too low as I forgot the 20 minute dough in! It really makes a difference.
