great pics Al, and nice to see you still have 'the bug'

should be a great tasting ale.

Is it possible to brew a bad beer with cascade!!! The smell when they hit the copper is luuvly, specially when you are boiling in the kitchen!!!

Nice pics, should be a great brew

Looks great! Can't wait to hear how it tastes. Where did you get your boiler?

Cheers

floyd, it's a 33 ltr fermentation bin, sold by Leyland homebrew shop. Fitted to cheapo Asda elements and it has been great. Bin cost about £13 a year ago, with black tap and holes cut for 2 elements. There was one on ebay last week with proper kettle elements buy it now £30. Think it might have finished now though.

ffloyd,

boiler made from this fermentor http://www.leylandhomebrew.com/item639.htm or already made http://www.leylandhomebrew.com/item586.htm
