Fingers crossed for ya!

Can I ask how you mashed & sparged and if you made any changes to the water chemistry?

Mash was 67c and I loosely used the no-sparge technique. I'd need to double check my notes but I think I added about 5 litres of sparge water as a batch sparge in order to get about 27 litres into the kettle. Would need a bigger mashtun to do a full no-sparge.

1 teaspoon of table salt added to the mash water too.

How did it score?

I'm just wondering about the recipe as OG 1.066 -> FG 1.012 gives an ABV of 7.1%, whereas LF is only 6.0%. The Carlow Brewing website specifies the beer to be 14.5°, which equals a specific gravity of 1.059.
Plus the bittering should be 45 IBU.

Didn't score too well. Low 20s but the judges noted that it might have picked up an infection. I only bottled 3 bottles so I'm hoping the corny with the rest of it is fine.

Will need to check my Beersmith when I get home on those figures.
