My first post on this forum. And about my tenth AG brew. Before that it was all country wines, so still a bit slapdash in my approach to AG brewing!
I chose to make this brew for a number of reasons. I wanted to make a mild style beer. I am going to canada for 6 months and still want it to be good on return. I needed to clear the cupboards of my grain because i want to buy fresh on return!
It may slip slighty in to a brown ale type beer. Your comments are appreciated.

I am open to suggestions on the hops..... I have EK goldings, Saaz, Pilgrim, Fuggles and Hallertau.
I am thinking:
Hops:
Fuggle Whole 4.9 % 90 mins 0 lbs. 2.8 oz 80 grams 80%
Fuggle Whole 4.9 % 15 mins 0 lbs. 0.7 oz 20 grams 20%
With a potential finish off:
Final Volume: 25 Litres
Original Gravity: 1.058
Final Gravity: 1.017
Alcohol Content: 5.3% ABV
Yeast S04
Any ideas or comments?
