looks like a good evening brew sesh Del, just the ticket and it's a belter brew.

hmmm, I have all those ingredients and need a recipe for tomorrow, it's a good excuse to use all those half opened packets of hops as well.

Have a good 'un

I'm after a recipe for this weekend, is this for 23 litres Del ?

It is but, but i get relatively crap efficency compared to some, its supposed to give you something around the 1048-1050 mark so if your efficency is better you can always use slightly less of everything.

[roger the dog]

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind.

[delboy]

This is being postponed until tomorrow on account of me not getting out of work until late

[Garth]

I'll be joining you Del, I've decided to do this as well, the last one I did was a while back and it was well enjoyable

[delboy]

Nice one garth

Good luck with the brew Del & Garth, it seems to be a popular recipe. Maybe one for a future HH brewday.

Tis a nice drop HH

Weighing out the ingredients now

[delboy]

Tempted to maybe turn this into a double brew day and maybe knock out some SNPA

[DarloDave]

Go for it Del

[Garth]

mine's 15 mins into the boil, got good efficiency for once, had loads extra wort, but there is quite a bit leaf hop in this and I also lose a bit to deadspace so it's probably for the best.

did you settle on a SNPA recipe that you thought worked well Del?

I have come to the conclusion that it was the Magnum giving the harsh taste, I've since used Perle in three brews and no harshness in sight.

[delboy]

Glad it went well garth, im only at the sparge stage.

[roger the dog]

I'm also into the (2nd) batch sparge, looks like a popular one
