Im hoping to dry hop for 5 days, my temperature started at 18 deg and i raised the temp to 20 deg after...

it's whatever suits you mate, i have 2 under counter fridges and both go under 1 degree without a problem. i can only get 1 23ltr fermenting bucket in 1 and 2 cornies in the other. the larder fridge freezer would be better i would of thought. If you know a joiner , ask him if he does a kitchen have ...

I can't remember gravity or hop type used but both recipes definitely state 70% pale malt, 10% roasted barley and 20% flaked barley. IBUs are around 40-45. thanks for the reply, Is the malt extract the same as pale m...
