Sounds good , what kind of OG are you expecting on that one?

Looking for around 1.086-088.

But I don’t have any potential SG for the date sugar or Jaggery and I may reduce back the on date syrup a little later, depending what it’s like when I open it

[notassuch]

Oh yeah!

I remember you mentioning the date syrup.
Glad you're going ahead with it. Everything points to it tasting great.

Are you doing single or step?

It's an elegant monster. Pour me an eggcup.

Looks like a complicated flavour. Is that a gallon starter?
