Well since morrisey has cracked it and invented the perfect pint (a golden ale no less) im going to be a cheeky bugger and copy him, only joking i've been planning my pale ale for a while now.

Anyhoo

Marris Otter 5 Kg
carahell 0.25 Kg

Mash at 65 C for 75 min

15g cascade (7 %) at 60 min
15g cascade (7 %) at 30 min
15g cascade (7 %) at 1 min

fermenting with nottingham.

Will be doing this tonight when SWMBO leaves for yet another hen party.

Decided to go ahead and fire on with this brew rather than waiting on SWMBO to leave, i might even fire on another brew, maybe a stout :-k

The boil is only under way now :oops: , i was pressed into service as a taxi driver for the afternoon, its been mashing for about 4 hours :shock: , it'll probably be very thin, but its supposed to be a quaffing ale so maybe that'll be no bad thing. Either way im sure it'll still end up drank :D

Me too but the brewery is full of timber.... I guess it's encouragement to get the bloody job finished.
