This recipe was such a big hit with ME
that i'm doing a variation of it again tomorrow, gonna give it a bit more bite. Again i'm designing it without the help of software so if something doesn't add up feel free to shoot me down. The horizion i dry hopped with last time gave an aroma i didn't like, very sweet so they're getting the boot, also i'm gonna sub the willamet hops for the trusty syrian goldings
Maris Otter 5.5kg
Chocolate 200grm
Crystal 500g
Carapils 250grm
60 min hops
27 grm Syrian Goldings
25grm Fuggles
15 min hops
30 grm Fuggles
30 grm Syrian Goldings
1 whirfloc tab
25 grm Fuggles 0 mins
Yeast S04
Also i'll dry hop to the keg with an 3/4 ounce of someting

You'll get up at 5.30 have a few beers watching the moto gp and be asleep in the chair when the Mrs gets up, with the kitchen full of steam!

Good luck with the brew AT

Had one little hiccup, i plugged in the kettle and went in to sit down to watch moto gp, when i checked it it was still cold. The electricity to the shed failed again
Anyway we went back to the trusty extension lead but it slowed me up quite a bit. Just waiting for the wort to reach the boil now.

Nice brew, really enjoyed it. Don't know how much wort i collected at 1058 but i wouldn't fancy putting anymore in the fermenter. I'd say i'm pushing it to the limit already, i might have a bit of cleaning up to do tomorrow. Also i'm trying my fermenter box thingy for the first time so fingers crossed it works out alright
did check it a few times already and it seems to be holding at about 17 degrees

Think the problem is DaaB i got him to hook it up with a plug at the ouse end of things so i can plug it in and out as i need it but the fuse keeps blowing in the plug. It's a 3 amp fuse so probably i need a better fuse? i know as much about electricity as i do about women "it's dangerous"

You'll need a 13 amp fuse AT.
Glad to hear the brew finally went well

Just one element and a light bulb
and in my defence i'm not very clever although i was gonna try a 13 amp fuse next

DaaB wrote:Well the element draws 10a alone, then there's a small amount for the light. You also need to consider the length and rating of the cable, I expect Sparky Paul can offer some advice there. I think outbuildings should technically have their own consumer unit too and I don't think the regs recommend running one from a 13a socket.
I hear you barking dawg but if you seen the wiring in my house you'd agree the safest bet is the 13 amp fuse
