Good luck with it.

I will be interested to hear what you think of 5.2 stabiliser as I am going to get some myself for my next brew.

The final hop addition is an aroma hop steep i.e. throw them in for 10-15minutes power off at the end of the boil.

I have to call off this til at least Monday as HnG phoned me to say i wouldn't have it for the weekend cause Patsy had a day off yesterday. Also anybody looking for PH 5.2 they have none. I have some maris otter a little choc malt, a little belgian aromatic and various hops maybe i'll just bung them in so Saturday is not wasted

Also anybody looking for PH 5.2 they have none.
