Taking the day off work so today is a brewday
Currently heating the mash water for this recipe:
Brew length around 15 litres.
2.27kg pale malt
110g black patent malt
110g roasted barley
220g flaked wheat
I have 28g Saaz and 56g East Kent Goldings to play around with. Think I might just stick with the EKGs, around 45g worth.
For yeast I have S-04, Nottingham, S-33 and US-05. Thinking I'll give US-05 a try.
Pics to come...

3 hours later and still mashing. Had to run some errands so heating up the sparge water now.
Ingredients ready
Heating the mash water
Doughing in
Overhit the mash temp I was aiming so letting it cool off a bit

I'd add a bit of cold water to bring the mash temp down to get it sorted a bit more quickly. Oh, and I've just realised where you are and its not an evening brew

Oops! I made the same wrong assumption.

It all went very well. I'm feeling very contented and worry free about this beer. The wort was cooled and aerated well and the yeast took off a couple of hours after pitching.
Trying to get a workable method down on my system, I tried a couple of new little things. Used my new hop strainer to great effect. Worked a treat.
O.G. of 1.056 is good. I'll upload the rest of the pics when I can.
