Hi all,
A mad recipe for you. But I had to do it as my Holden's Old Ale 8.1% is about 1/2 empty and need a replacement for it in about 8 months :)

Pale Malt 7.000g
Black Malt 50g
Flaked Wheat 145g

Malt Extract 2,450g
Goldings 33g 90mins
Fuggles 95g 90mins
Goldings 40g Flame out

Mashing was getting hard work

5 Gallons collected. Only 4 in the FV with 2 Nottingham yeast. The other gallon in a Demi John being fermented with Thomas Hardy's Ale Yeast.

The final gravity is a mystery. Its more than 1.100 but I cant tell you what because the Hydrometer only goes up to 1.100...
Oh well. After 1 week the FV is down to 1.025 and still has bubbles on top. The DJ is down to 1.018 and has been bottled for storage.... Good old job :)

Cheers
Russ
