Are those numbers right? Beersmith makes it 1050 at 75%
I think there may be a typo. The original post listed 3990g of Pale.

Oops, sorry! My mistake, it should have said 20Ltrs; 25Ltrs is my normal brew length. I use Graham's BeerEngine myself, dead good it is as well.

Actually, annoyingly enough I went to my LHBS to get the extra bits I needed only to find that they don't stock liquid yeast any more. No demand apparently. So I'm either going to use SO4, or I'll get another Brewlabs in; TV2 or TV3. At £3.50 delivered, you can't complain can you!

Okay, now I'm doubly poo'd off. Not only does my one source of liquid yeast in the Birmingham area no longer stock this, but no-one stocks brown malt either. Again, 'there's no demand for it'. So I now either find an alternative, or I buy online which makes it expensive (relatively). If I get this through Thrifty it comes to £5.30, which in the grand scheme of things isn't really a big deal, but its just irritating having to do so. Sorry, rant over.
