Looks very nice Daab, but "fraught with interuptions", a poor excuse for one such as yourself

That was my first 25L batch for some time, i'd almost forgotten how to do it

its just like riding a bike..........................you dont do it anymore

I did a First Gold batch too yesterday DaaB a variant of Guild Of Evil's 'First Gold Quaffer' recipe, also with a post 80 degree aroma addition during cooling.

I forgot to draw off wort for a DFS , so pitched two sachets of re-hydrated Gervin. Going like a good 'un now.

Hope yours turns out well.

I did a variant of that recipe some time ago, it was f****** magic. Hope yours turns out well

Cheers SS. I've done GOE's recipe straight, so hope my tinkering with it this time goes alright.

I was going to do an all first gold recipe but as I have a block or two of challenger to use up I thought i'd use that as the bittering hop. I reckon it will be about the same with all the flavour additions I have included. It's a nice hop and to be honest I don't think Badger First Gold does it justice.

I thought that too DaaB. I brewed it hoping for a clone I guess, but home brew reigns superior in this case

[Matt]

Sounds interesting, shall look out for those. Cheers DaaB.

I have used challenger and first gold to great effect with my jolly roger ale, except I used mine the other way around (first gold to bitter and challenger for aroma). My only experience of first gold prior to this beer was the badger and I wasn't impressed, I'm glad I bit the bullet and tried them for myself!

You're not wrong there Daab, GOE's recipe kicks it's ass
