Brewday - first in 2 years!!!

[Louthepoo]

Well i've decided to do a brew after a 2 year absence for a number of reasons and i'm a bit apprehensive as i've had trouble remembering everything! a short read through posts on here and my old brewing notes and i think i'm pretty much there.

Hopefully the first of many - sepecially if i can get a CO2 bottle for my cornies :)

I'm doing a pale ale similar to one i brewed before but with a couple of variations due to ingredients!

4.2k Pale Malt

15g Goldings 60 mins
15g Fuggles 60 mins
5g fuggles 30 mins
5g Goldings 30 mins
15g Challenger 15 mins
10g Challenger 2 mins

Yeast - either Gervin or Nottingham

sorry for the late reply, computer went down! its good to be back, forgot how satisfying brewing was!

Well it didn't go exactly to plan, forgot to do a few things, using new equipment and a different way of sparging so the OG was a little low - 1038! might have something to do with the ingredients being so out of date it was frightening! As long as it tastes ok i dont mind. It WIll get better as i dust off the old grey matter.

hope to do another soon and speak to you guys when i have more time,

cheers, Lou
