I am running out of beer!
Was hoping to get through the summer but after some long weekends away camping at the BSB etc I am going to run out! My last brew was a hop back summer lighting split with us-05 and bottle reclaimed yeast.
The us-05 came out great as would expect but the reclaimed yeast brew was not half as good so ended up down on beer stocks.
Weather not great this weekend so permission to brew has been granted.
I am thinking of doing a double brewday by doing a big mash and then splitting the wort for two boils, does that sound ok?
