Looking good P :thumb: Not doing both on the same day

 

[pittsy]

lol no not on the same day , I use the same pot for HLT for boiling the wort so 6hrs per brew , maybe later in the year I'll get another pot but for now I only have the 2 not 3 in my set up . Besides i have my lad on a Saturday and also my Mrs comes round mine so i don't want to upset everyone .

That's an action packed weekend brother. Sounds fun.

Looking like a great weekend brewing lined up p I like the smell of those Citra hops a lot, though a lot of folk say they smell like cat pee in the finished brew :shock: :lol: :drink:

 

[pittsy]

[pittsy]
