Would recommend getting some more american C hops to dry hop it. 40 - 60g worth should make it a tastier beer

If I hadn't gone BIAB I'd be all over this. It sounds amazing and I'm waiting to hear how it turns out for people.

20g of each does sound a bit tight :shock:

I'm assuming that the LME is well hopped, but nothing beats loads of fresh dry hops :twisted:

update: made it up just after christmas...3 weeks in primary .. dry hop with another 20g summit pellet. tastes super clean for an ale not overly bitter.. very lemonny...super drink . think i got it to around 6.5% -7% but no alchol burn off it. easy drinking for a strong one. so clean tasting it could be a strong lager. from memory its remarkably like this stuff http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/harrington ... an/122997/
well worth doing ..dangerously drinkable

I made this kit this afternoon. The OG was 1062, so it should be interesting.

Can't wait to try it.

I liked the look of these, so I have one waiting to go in the FV.

Gus: Not looked at the instructions yet, does it need additional sugar or are you adding that kilo to 'boost' it? :twisted: :shock:

no sugar needed i added the kilo of light unhoped spray malt just to see if it would come out stronger than the stated % , i like strong ale, its unusual to add both hops at the end only for the aroma, but thats how its supposed to be according to the instructions.
