Bit of a squeeze in the good old cool box.

The trusty old set up
Syrups added half way through the boil
15min Hops 30g East Kent Goldings

That should have a kick to it
Are you paying the yeast danger money?

Hi Kev,
Yeast is just the normal run of the mill S04. Can't beat the stuff.

Looks a mad brew; how many sachets of S04 did you use?
I've got a 1.120 brew over 13L coming up and was thinking maybe 2 sachets would be required. According to Mr Maltys pitch rate calculator it comes out at 1.3 sachets.

Just the 1 x sachet, and sprinkled on the top. Didn't make a starter
.......
Its going lovely at the moment. Nice thick creamy head and is down to 1.060 already after 2 days. Had a taste and by jingos its malty and already tasting good. Well happy
Think you'll be ok with just 1 for your 1.120. S04 is a bloody good little yeast to beat.

Looks good. Will be interested in knowing how it turns out when matured.
How long do you intend to leave it?

Sorry for the late reply, been away for a week.
I'm going to leave it for a minimum of 12 months before I pull off a taster.
2011 Christmas probably will be about a good time.
Hope I can wait that long
