Popped out & picked up some flaked wheat, all sorted for a re-brew of the Bitza Brown from a month or two back,
Hopefully I suffer the same low efficiency and high finishing gravity !

1.036 with Nottingham and 27 IBU. Super Alpha to bitter and Rakau just to use it up.
I figured that Nottingham won't let much, if any hop character through, so it'd be same to use up here
Yes, This is higher than usual for my browns - usually 50-60%
I don't expect much hop character to make it through the Nottingham factor - should be fine.
The rest are usually 60-70% though once or twice I've cocked up and hit 118 and 128%
Yes, it's a real bitza everything, seemed to work when I was using up all the odds & ends.
Hopefully it'll work when done intentionally
