I quite like them so i bought a good few packs when they were in stock. I got them from http://thehomebrewcompany.ie/ but on a quick check i can't see them. Have a look yourself

That looks like a winner AT, i like the sound of cascade and NS together, good luck with it.

looks nice AT. btw shane done an Irish Red AG yesterday and got OG 4 points more than expected at 1057, so a good start.

Yea he sent me a couple of texts, can't wait to taste it

Looks a grand recipe that AT

Hope it's going ok at, enjoy it!

Looks great AT, I bet you're well into the boil by now

25 L at 1052 all went well except i was a bit quick to transfer to the fermenter and as a result it's about 6 degrees hotter than i want to pitch at so i'll have to wait an hour or two before i pitch the yeast. I had 47g of Nelson Sauvin hanging around so i chucked them in at 80 degrees after flame out and turned off the cooler for ten mins so hopefully it will smell great

Glad to see all went well AT

It's not cooling so i've put it in the bath, with it been a conical very little is under water but it's gotta be better than where it was and i've opened the windows. I refuse to pitch before at least 26

Well i finally got it down and pitched the yeast somewhat drunk last night and managed to carry the fermenter back to the fermenting cupboard and it's happily chugging away this morning
