Just finished this a few minutes ago. Used up most of my hop ends. Next visit to the HBS will be an expensive one

All went pretty well except that I forgot to add the sugar to the boil, but it shouldn't make any difference as I got slightly better efficiency than I planned for in any case. Target was 19L @ 1041, ended up with 20L @ 1040.

that should come out over 4%ABV which is spot on, much better if you brew without sticking sugar in IMO, call me old fashioned

This one turned out superb. Finished up at 1008, so about 4.2% ABV. Funny how the simplest brews often turn out the best.

I don't think Harviestoun themselves have brewed this for years, so you're drinking a bit of history

Another 40 pints of it will soon be history
