The Orange Wheat Beer sounds interesting! I'd love to give that a try!

I'll add this here if its OK, as I don't think its worth its own thread doing the same; A week ago I followed exactly the same recipe, except quantities doubled, and with Muntons 'light' DME. My local did actually have the Lallemand yeast, so I used that. I am leaving one demi 'unseasoned' and...

Interesting! I got this book for Christmas, and it's given me a nudge to move from extract kits to something a bit more... In your second batch, did you compensate for the boil off? Wondering how much water to add. Also, my recipes ask for the malt in 200ml quantities - I presume you found...

American pale ale please - it was ace last time!

I've got the Flagship American Pale Ale kit in the FV (9 days) at the moment, hops are going in tomorrow. Basically doing it by the instructions, with the exception being that I have no temperature control (Other than the FV being in the coolest place in the house, under the stairs), and its sat...
