Today i`m brewing my standard lager (Based on Horden Hillbillys recipe)
but with an Elderflower addition, the reson being is that i recently brewed an
ale with all Styrian and Elderflower and the wife loves it so i thought i`d put some
in her lager to see how it turns out,

The Recipe Today is:

3000g Lager Malt
400g Flaked Maize
400g Caramalt
400g Cane Sugar
35g Crystal @ 60 mins AA 4.9%
5g Crystal @ 10 mins AA 4.9%
25g Elderflower @ 15mins
Protafloc Tab @ 20 mins
Youngs Lager Yeast

Mash already underway, about half an in i`d say.

Its now sat in the boiler just waiting to get upto boiling point.
Quick brew then wash out the mash tun etc.

All you need know is for the sun come out.

let me no how it turns out i fancy having a go with elderflower for the misses

That doesn't seem like a lot of elderflower. I thought you'd need a carrier bag of the stuff!

You`ed be surprised i`m actually drink an all Styrian brew at the moment with the same
amount added and you can really taste the elderflower.

Where do you get the elderflower Mark?

I bought it from ebay from this memeber - babeoftheabyss
But just search ebay or home brew shops.

Thanks again mate
