my local microbrewery collect and re-pitch the yeast pancake from the bottom of the FV....so they do not separate solids.

Well I Kegged/bottled my first stove batch yesterday. Got about 8 lites in the end at about 3.9 4%.
Have to say it tasted lovely.
Looking forward to having a proper taste in a few weeks.
Also splashed out on a Peco boiler for a bigger batch next time

Does the original recipe use crushed Maris otter or whole grains?
Sorry if this is obvious to the more experienced.
I looked at quite a lot of pages before asking. Can't see it mentioned anywhere.

Crushed. You will ALWAYS use crushed grain. Theres no circumstance where you will use whole grain in AG brewing

Thanks,
Fancy a crack at this. Only made a few kits before.
I thought you needed lots more equipment for ag.

Nah, you really just need a pot and a bag. The rest of it you can use what you already have for kits and stuff around the kitchen (even for full 23L brews)

Ordered Maris otter and yeast yesterday. Can't wait to have a go. Hoping they come before the weekend.
Going to stick to the recipe Clibit originally posted to get a base line.
I have a beer works presidents sierra kit on the go at the moment. Going to dry hop this with mosaic, instead of the citra that comes with it and then use mosaic in my first AG brew.
Hopefully if all goes well, I will be able to see a difference.
I'd never of dreampt of being able to do this if it wasn't for Clibit's thread and Slid putting a link to it in a beer kit thread.
Got enough for three 5ltr brews. Hoping to get something reasonable by brew 3.

Same here. Neither would I!
I have 10l of the original recipe stewing in the shed.
Planning a bigger brew soon with a single hop recpie from the greg whatshisface beer book.
Which reminds me, I need to post a question...

Got all the necessary ingredients ready.
Persueded the missus that she needed a new bigger sieve. She's baffled by my sudden interest in cookware.
Planning on giving it a go Monday. I'll have time to cope with whatever crops up there (I hope).
Using US pale ale yeast from Crossmyloof brewery. Assume this is OK.
Yeast comes in 10g packs, so 1/3 of a pack should do for 5ltrs.
Can't wait to get going now.:

I came across this thread 2 years ago next month and have been totally hooked ever since.

Only came across it a few days ago myself, whilst reading a thread on beer kits. Slid had put a link to this thread.
Read the whole lot now and have learned so much in theory (the practice starts Monday).
There is so much good information and experience coming from other forum members.
I will take some pics of the brew as long as my hands aren't stuck together.
