I'm brewing this one later this afternoon. Had nice results with a crystal and biscuit malt mix in a strong bitter, so am trying it in a session beer:

When the weather's cack and you can't get to work, there's only one thing to do.

Great use of your time

Hope it goes well!

Have a good one Matt.

hope it's gone well for you Matt

Hope it went well, Matt

Fermenting by now I bet...well done

Thanks chaps

All went to plan. I got a little better efficiency than expected - OG 1044 instead of 1041, so I rinsed the hop bed out with a kettle of boiled water (as taught to my be the great Tubby Shaw) to squeeze a bit more out of it.

Hoping this one is going to be ready quite speedily - am I right to expect that for a smaller beer?
