Notes:
I've never had a recipe before that called for adding fermentables late in the boil, and I'm not sure that I handled it perfectly. The recipe didn't mention anything about turning the brewpot off so I added the syrup straight in and stirred it but even in those few seconds it seems as though some scorching took place, so I hope that the taste impact isn't too significant though the colour is almost certainly going to be darker than intended. Other than that, this was a very easy recipe and the fermentation so far is excellent.
