Dave, for some reason your %AA on the bittering hops were all set to zero :wha:
This was causing a divide by zero error on the page - it should not be allowed actually so I will have to investigate that - anyway, I have changed them but you will have to edit the recipe to put the correct %AA in :thumb:

Thanks for that EB, its the first time ive used the forum recipe thing -e-me-bob to generate a recipe, so i was just making it up as i go along . Just hope everything turns out ok.

45 grams Super Styrians - 90 minutes

And this is the new one -

500 grams Brown Sugar

All setup now to start sparging. Untill my thermobox arives from nadine im still using the Burco as a HLT.

 

[corby_brewer]

Recycling the first 6ltrs.

Another 15ltrs of water added to mash, let it settle for 1/2 hour the sparged again.

After 30ltrs collected took a reading and its 1.070.

Coming to the boil.

Late hops go in.

The star of the show.

Honey goes in after heat off.

AG Brewing looks like so much fun cant wait to get my own set up.

 

[corby_brewer]

Well a finished and in the FV, Hit my targets spot on, 23lts at 1.065. Not as high as the first brew but im happy with it. Oh and yes it wouldnt be one of my brew days if i didnt forget something, and this time i forgot the irish moss. But on the bright side i remembered the hop strainer.

P.S only joking about the off topic posts lads.
