This one is currently chugging away after I did it on Saturday - hopefully not too hot for it at the mo, but I've not got use of the fermenting fridge for this one as the FV is too big for it, and I still haven't done surgery on the fridge door... Truly pale this time after my strong, not-quite-so-pale ale that is just finishing up .

300g Wheat malt

Loverly Fuggles... can't go wrong that really
I'm missing my cellar at the old house The new garage, however nice that it is, just doesn't stay cool enough!

Hmm - this is gonna be a fruity one (perhaps a hint of banana in the aroma, but that could just be a mid-ferment aroma that'll go) - it's running quite warm (23C or so) and have roused and put it outside this evening to cool for a bit to get it down to the 20C region again. Hmm.

looks delicious, I really love Caramunch!

'Fraid it's only caramalt and normal munich in this one

Looks good, I love that British ale yeast, and with Fuggles you can't go wrong.

whoops, that'll teach me for skimming! Still, looks lovely..
