    Mild Recipe

    I just poured the first pint of this today, final recipe below. Very easy drinking, not sure why I kept with Nottingham on this though as I do think a bit more body would have benefited it, probably wouldn't have hurt to increase the bittering charge slightly either.

    Cost of the boil.

    Happened to be putting on a brew the day after our smart meter was installed and it turns out the hob uses about 20p per hour, which was a pleasant surprise actually

    The Mixed Fermentation Thread

    Started a bit of a mixed ferm secondary trial today, I've split a packet of 5112 Brett brux across an Imperial stout (1.021 - Skare) and a "Orval inspired" pale ale (1.010 - lallemand abbaye). I've also added some boon dregs to a separate portion of the stout.

    What did you mash at? I've found that where I've mashed above the low 60s my attenuation has been lower than predicted for Windsor & London
