OK, here's my feedback on the stuff I brewed..
Crystal malt is all well and good, in small quantities, I'll be usinng it again in the 5 to 10 percent range in my brews, however as a 100% malt bill it is a little overly powerful flavour wise
My second go, not to the competition rules at all, was a MOtter pale malt, plus fuggle hops, plus 1 litre of cherry juice post initial fermentation. The wife is insisting I make more of this, LOTS more :)
What did I learn?
AG is actually very easy, amazingly so in fact. I've lost my 'fear' of AG and have made several more 2 gallon batches to test theories I've developed from reading threads on here, most of them have been drunk
The only 'difficult' part is cooling the hot wort down, sitting the pan in a sink of cold water does take rather a long time to achieve pitching temperature :)
I'vev also built 99% of my large scale AG brewery since the first go, should be complete this weekend
