They're brilliant for the fermentation tho. A sulpherous aroma is how you might describe it!

Possibly reduce the boil time a little from 90 minutes though. Instead of irish moss use Bisto granules! Yum. Patsy says expect 30% on their grain and hops at H&G. They have the new more expensive delivery in now and will update their prices ASAP, got the old price for a sack of MO yesterday. £8 more from now on. That's an extra 6p a pint I brew. That is an increase that actually means something. Can't we do like supermarket chickens and get Argentinian hops and grain. www.argiehopandargiegrape.argiebargie. (Please forgive my apauling PC-ness, I do have an Argentinian friend, I'm rude to him too, never make it personal though.) :wink:
