I hope to brew this at some stage over the weekend. I've brewed this many times and changed it a little along the way and this time is no different After tasting Amarillo hops in Bugnos JS Golden Ale i realised they were just what i was searching for to add a bit of a citrus kick, so here it goes.

5KG Golden Promise
250G Carahell
100G Carapils

15G Aurora Super Syrians 4.9% 60 mins
13G Nelson Sauvin 13.3% 30 mins
32G Saaz 3% 30 mins
24G Amarillo 4% 15 mins

This brew is called of due to poor time management
It will be my next brew, maybe i'll do a 50L one next week

:cry:...pull yourself together man :lol:

Ok due to peer pressure :lol: and the fact that i've had these pots for months i'm gonna throw a brew through them, i prolly won't use any pumps cause i'm not sure how to use them without killing them but i borrowed enough plumbing fittings and pipes in work to make up some strainers (not done yet) hopefully brewday will be Friday night If anybody wants to explain how i use the pumps i'd be grateful they're scotsman pumps, retaged toton gp 12/20s i think

This brewday started great, i blew the fuses in the house and had to wait for the local shop to open to get more and then i undershoot my mash temperature by 4 degrees, oh and did i mention the pump decided it was better to **** water all over the floor cause pumping it into the tun was to boring. 2 and a half hours and i only have the mash on :evil: things can only get better

Arghhh - that sounds a grim start - at least with 50L you have some left :lol:
I'm almost done sparging now - although I forgot to turn the boiler on until about half way through the sparge so the going is going to be a bit delayed

I like the look of this . Are the Nelson Sauv pellets or leaf AT and who supplies them

 

[A T]

Hi Kingfisher i bought up a lot when they were around last year off http://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/
I'm getting low on them now but i'm told they'll be back in soon, oh and they're leaf hops

 

[Kingfisher]

Thanks AT :thumb: I'll keep that one in mind. I've been looking for NS leaf but UK seems to be sold out or never heard of them. There's some pellets available from New Zealand but the carriage will be expensive.

 

[A T]

I had a long day, 8-6 :evil: but worth it in the end. I ended up two points over what i aimed for and with about 3 litres extra :shock: here's some pics

I have a bad feeling i filled both fermenters to much, the mop is on stand by

I had to put my sunglasses on!

Quality pics AT - I love that conical :thumb:
