Monday is going to be next brew day. And this be it.....

Looks nice Bungle

Just going to make a barrel of an English ale. Got the hops free from a brewery in city centre. Bonus!! And sold me a 25k bag of grain at cost as he orders grain by the tonne load so gets it cheaper. So 25k for £18. Happy days! Going to brew again on Friday too I reckon.

I like the look of that too. Late Challenger is is one of my secret weapons for English ales. I think it gets overlooked for late additions. Very nice.

Pretty classic stuff Bungle. Should be good.

Not used challenger in an English ale before. But have liked it in drinks I've tried of late. Would you dry hop with it? I'm used to doing American hopped up ales and dry hop those to some tune.

So the brew is on.

Grains



Now mashing away. Going to try a 90min one. See what happens as my efficiency has dropped of late. See if this makes any difference.

Nice shot of a couple of dog eggs on the patio there Bungle

Quality. That's brew dog and his presents. They have now been shifted. I wasn't aware he had kindly left me those. That's how he repays me for taking him for a walk this morning. He's good like that!!

The hops. Won't be using all. But the challenger smell rather amazing.

Grains out and now await the book

Boil on the go



First lot of hops. In yer go.

Looking good Wish I was doing a brew too!

This today and possibly another end of week. We shall see.

In go the goldings.
