Is your new name Monkeymaltmillerbrew?

The thing is, it's £2.70 postage for 1 pack of hops and £2.70 postage for 2 packs of hops.

As you can see, it's clearly not my fault!

Thinking of some Wherry experiments now, and as I haven't got many mid/dark ales in stock, I'm thinking of brewing a darker Wherry with a hop twist.

I had originally thought about adding a moderate amount of Chocolate Malt and some Fuggles hops, but that seemed a bit predictable, so I have decided to add some Choccy malt and Brewers Gold hops.

Brewlength - 10L
1 x 1.5kg can of Woodfordes Wherry
40g of Chocolate Malt (800 EBC) - steeped for 30mins (Leftovers)
5g of Brewers Gold 6.5% AA Leaf Hops boiled for 10mins
10g of Brewers Gold 6.5% AA Leaf Hops steeped for 30mins
6g of Muntons Premium Ale Yeast
Fermented @ 21C

I've just pitched the yeast into this brew and popped it into my Brewfridge.

The OG was 1.044 and the colour is a nice dark brown.

Just had a quick peak into the FV to make sure that everything was ok.



Looks good to me and I'll now leave it alone until next weekend before checking a gravity reading.

I decided against a Sundew adaptation this time around as my Canadian Blonde hoppy ale brew will fill that gap for a while.

If this Dark Wherry turns out ok, I'll save you the fuel and post you a bottle

Loving your sig at the mo!

hi stomach i thought my avatar had some class im just promoting the best team this country has ever seen

[tazzymutt]

... im just promoting the best team this country has ever seen

...Loughborough University Fishing Club?

On an aside, I once joined a club with the alluring name "LUST". I got very cold and wet; it turned out to be Loughborough University Spieliology Team and caves they visited (at least while I was a member) are not the big, beautiful ones we sometimes see on TV... Oh well, it was worth a punt

Happy brewing,


Ian.
