going to brew this next week what do you guys think?

Post by alfie09 » Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:53 pm

25 litre batch
OG 1053
ABV 5.5%
41 units of colour
28 EBU

MARIS OTTER PALE MALT 5550 gms
BLACK MALT 116 gms

HOPS boil time 90 minutes

PROGRESS 53 gms

Add 10gms Styrian Goldings last 15 minutes

muntons gold yeast. (all i got in)

wont be using any other malts because this is a user-upper. does it sound ok?

i might end up making more or less depending on whats in the sack!

Did the brewday turn out OK Alfie? I've tasted several beers made with Muntons Gold and they've been superb.
