Notes

Dusty Zombies iii

Third iteration of my variations on the zombie dust clone, using Ale and Vienna malts, Citra single hop, and 2x Lalbrew Pomona yeast. This version has slightly more grain with an additional 100g of Vienna, the same volume and delivery of citra hop as the last one, and switching from verdant to pomona yast.
