This is one of my "must brew" beers. Good luck with the brew and let us know how it turns out please.

I made this a few months back but my element packed up mid boil and I had to ditch it ,obviously I was most p***ed off.
I really like the idea of it as I love a good Mild and this one is a lot stronger than usaual.I will be interested how this turns out EJ so please post your results mate as this is going on mylist of 'must brew asap'.

How did it go ? Any S & M pictures for us to look forward to ?

Well it didn't go too great.
First balls up was I forgot my finings.
Then my thermometer (a brand new digital one) went tits up and now reads 30ish degrees too high.
And my OG was a bit low, although its difficult to tell with my defective hygrometer. I think it was around the 1.052 mark.
Otherwise it went well.
Did take some pics, may post later. No gimp pics though RTD.
