Brewed on Thursday 10th June to celebrate the birth of My Great Niece on 1st June.

4kg Lager malt
200g Crystal wheat malt

mashed for 120 minutes

50g Saaz 3.5% AA boiled for 90 minutes

12.5 g Saaz 3.5% AA finishing hops

1 tsp Irish Moss last 15 mins of boil

1 packet S04 yeast


Made 5 gallons at 1.044 OG giving approx 80% extraction


S04 got off to a bit of a slow start but is fermenting away nicely now.


No photos as camera is dead.

Racked it to a keg today.

1st impressions are it's a nice easy supping pint!

Not only can I celebrate the birth of Kayla but surviving a 6 vehicle smash on the M6 early Monday morning.

God has been good to Us this month for a change!

I was driving My BIL's car (long story)

Picked My Nephew and 2 friends up from Bristol as their car broke down and was towed off.

His car is a write off.

A car/van had turned over in the fast lane side on and had no lights.

It was all over in about five seconds.

Praise the Lord We survived.
