September27 attribution qualification
The recommendation for fresh or frozen wort is correctly attributed to page12, but fresh wort was not an experimental group. All four tested groups began with frozen wort (page2). This record supports the authors' recommendation, not a measured fresh-versus-frozen equivalence.
