Okay I see what I did wrong. Turns out what I thought was the From parameter was the To parameter and I was just sending it to myself. I'll get it fixed up :)

Gose is marked in the BJCP as standard-strength but can have an og as low as 1.036. Can we get it included as it's in the spirit of the competition?
All the session IPAs are going to be alot stronger.
