I want to finish pretty dry with this so mashed low at 64.5 and added the sugar.
I'm also using Nottingham yeast which has eventully started almost 2 full days after pitching.
Got the ferment going at 20 deg and have now knocked it back to 17 deg trying for a clean taste.
I think I'll dry hop as well with a few cascade's, not over the top though.
I'm hoping for crisp, dry( as I said) slightly hoppy pale ale that I'll carbonate fairly well.
I have a few pics that I'll stick up when I get batteries for the camera

Also a first attempt at ghetto fly sparging, it went well and I'll try it again but I didnt see an improvment in efficency!
