Very impromptu brewday decided on last night just before I went to bed. Unfortunatley I have no idea what I am going to brew :shock: but it will be something hopy. Water is on the gas to heat up and campden tablet has been thrown in now to look for something to make.... As usual plenty of pics should be forth comming when the brew is finished and I have had time to upload them to photobucket.
 
Hope you have a great one :thumb: Looking forward to hearing what you brew :D

It's a popular beer, haven't done it myself but had it in bottles and cask and it is a delicious pint indeed. Apparently you're supposed to caramelise some of the first runnings to get the colour and toffee flavours. Worth a shot or too much of a faff for a last minute brew?
 
Well I would have caramalised some of the first runnings if I had of remembered unfortunatley my mother decided to visit so it put me off a little and I have also managed to get some if the grist into the boil :( ... It is now on the boil and the first hops have been thrown in unfortunatley again im short on photos due to visitor...
 
Sorry folks due to visitor their is a distinct lack of pics this time round. Needless to say the brew is tucked up fermenting away happily.. I think I hit 1045 but im not sure I seem to have forgoten to A, Check the Ph and B, Take a gravity reading..
