As am I. Someone said the recipe looks similar to a hobgoblin-esque beer. Which is fine by me :)

Been a week in the FV now. Dropped to 1.013. I'm expecting it to drop to 1.010 or 1.008. Another week in the FV at 18c then a week in my other fridge to cool and clear.
Smells lovely at the minute :thumb:

Hi piddle sorry for the late reply.
It's bottled now, did it Tuesday. Think I had a major problem with batch priming which I posted about on Wednesday. Most the sugar solution got left at the bottom of the bucket I think!
Apart from that, tasted good and is nice and clear.
The bottles are developing a sediment so hopefully I can get away with using an activated glass when it comes to drinking if there is a lack of carbonation.

Been in the bottle for 12 days, just had a sample. It's really good.
It's slightly lacking in body but Im hoping this will be fixed with time and maturation. The malt is definitely coming through, not very bitter - hense the recipe. If I were to do this again I'd probably up the bittering by 50%. I am still learning, and have learnt that I need a balance.
Overall I'm very happy with this so far, its early days yet.

A quick update if anyone is interested.
It has developed an almost nutty flavour. Im at a loss to think where this has come from, a couple of people have now mentioned this. Very intriguing. Definitely needs a few more IBU's but apart from that I'm very happy
