Brewing up a Linthwaite Light

[drbell]

I have absolutely no idea what to expect from this beer (it was a random selection in the homebrew shop) but I have prepared the kit and it should now be starting to ferment.

Starting my second brew seemed much quicker and easier than the first - a result of a little more organisation and a little more confidence I think.

I followed the instructions as closely as possible. This included the use of the hops bag, and rehydrating the yeast before pitching - neither of which we done with the Munton's IPA I did previously.

Also of note was the temperature of the beer when I pitched the yeast - just 14 degrees C because of my very cold water from my cold tap. I pitched anyway, and warmed the bucket up a little with a hair drier afterwards - hope this will be ok.

Cool, cheers for the tips. I just didn't think until I'd already filled it - pretty stupid. I did pour in a small amount of recently boiled water but not much as there wasn't room. Will engage my brain next time.

I'll also check it tonight and see if it has a nice head and some bubbles.

Cheers.

Good point, thanks. i'll bear that in mind for next time.

Cheers.

I brewed this kit up about six months ago. It's a good pint, I think you'll be very happy with it.

Awesome. Cheers for the reply frutbunn. There seems so little information about this kit. How would you describe the result.
