After a couple of busy weekends and a very full August ahead i've managed to wangle a double brew weekend.

The plan is:

Saturday - TLC Twist
Sunday - Grumpy Bum

These are the two brews that go down the best, in fact I have a TLCTwist sat in a Corny ready to take to a party in a couple of weekends time.

Both 25L batches calculated at 75% efficiency using Safale s04 and a whirlfloc tablet 10 mins from the end.

TLC Twist.

5000.00 gm Marris Otter Grain 95.6 %
130.00 gm Wheat, Torrified Grain 2.5 %
100.00 gm Crystal Malt Grain 1.9 %
41.00 gm Northdown [6.50%] (90 min) Hops 26.0 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (90 min) Hops 7.3 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (15 min) Hops 3.8 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [3.00%] (0 min) Hops -

Grumpy Bum.

4130.00 gm Marris Otter Grain 91.0 %
410.00 gm Crystal Malt Grain 9.0 %
60.00 gm Northdown [6.50%] (90 min) Hops 40.0 IBU
25.00 gm Styrian Goldings [2.00%] (15 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops

I'll stick some pic's on when I brew, suggestions as always welcome and wish me luck!

I will always wish you good luck and none hazy beers

I take it you won't be taking that Penny Farthing of your out at the weekend?

Cheers!

Nah, i've also got to do loads of work on the nursery on Sunday (electrics) so the brew will be fitted around that, my little bro is a sparks but i'm roped into helping i'm going to do a bit of road cycling on Saturday evening though, starting to feel really lardy not been out for a few weeks

New fitness regime kicks in on Monday

Looks like a busy weekend Wez have a good 1 or 2 in this case

Hope it all goes well Wez

Hi Wes
I like the look of the TLCtwist
But what does the Nortdown offer to the brew compared to Fuggles / Goldings etc

I'm slightly dissapointed here Wez. You've done a pre brewday post and it's still on it's first page, usually there'd be at least six pages by now!

I like the look of the TLC twist though.

Enjoy Wez

The first time I did this brew I used Fuggles, the next time my local micro who supply me with hops didn't have Fuggles but suggested I try Northdown instead the result was a good brew which tasted a bit cleaner / fresher so i've stuck with Northdown.

It's never my fault though!
