Well it isnt particularly particular but here is what I have just finished this evening:

Original Gravity 1066 , 21 Litre
Start Mash Temp 66.3c, end 65.7c
Mash Time 2.25 hours
Mash liquor 15 litres
Boil Time 1.5 hours
33 EBU

Marris Otter 6kg
Crystal 530g

45g Fuggles (6%) First wort hopping
40g Goldings (4.6%) "
10g Styrian ( Last 10 mins )
10g Styrian power off
10g Styrian at 65c

Whirfloc
Safale S04 yeast

Not the usual strength I drink but means I have an entry now for the Wales And West strong ales section.

The only thing of note for me was it was the first run with 2 elements in the boiler - had to switch off the 2nd one very smartish when boil was reached

No pictures but Bertha was on fire tonight

Cheers, its on whitsun bank holiday weekend. Over 2000 bottles entered in all but the ales section has fewer entries ( but they know their onions ).

Shameless plug of the wine group I belong to who I am introducing to beer ComeonSouthGlos[/url] where funnily enough I look to be sozzled in all the pictures

Good to see Bertha again B

Hope you enjoyed the brew

Glad it went well
