After the last batch got a bloody infection (1st for over a year! ) I'm getting another batch on this AM. Mash is on at 65oC.

I'm going to be using the wlp005 starter I made up for my smoked porter as the starter wasn't fermented out enough on sunday so ended up using S04 for that.

Coffee drank, now to walk the dog (and a quick detour to LHBS as I've just remembered I'm out of protofloc AND irish moss now! )



More to follow!

I have just bottle a very similar brew, but without the roaster barley...................more of a white sheep and nearer to 5% ABV

That look very drinkable. I've glanced at Wheelers and been tempted. Also the Big Lamp Bitter opposite, nice and simple.
