Quite a Full bucket of malt:
FWH, 250g of Amarillo:
Hops in the copper, there is some wort underneath!:
100g at 15mins left to boil:
Hop Stew, the spoon just stands up in it there are so many hops in the copper:
There is a IC in there somewhere:
About 5 points low on my target, I was half expecting this with such a large amount of Munich Malt coupled with the massive amount of Hops in addition to the compensated 5 Litres of losses guestimate!:
The Twins:
US-05 dry sprinkled at 23cI'm guessing the US-05 will finish lower than predicted so the ABV will hopefully be around that predicted.
