Had some hops left over from my Punk IPA brew, inspired by the Malt Miller recipe.
6 Kilos of Maris Otter
100g total of Chinnook, Ahtanum, Rakau and Mosaic hops.
2 packs Muntons Gold yeast.
After mashing for 90 minutes and sparging I had about 32 litres of wort, a bit less than with the Punk.
Boiled for 90 minutes and put 75g of the hop mix in after 60 minutes and a couple of teaspoons of Irish Moss after 75.
Ended up with a bit under 30l and, then broke the thermometer!
After cooling and guessing the temp the OG was 1065.
It was fermenting slowly at about 18C (new digital thermometer) so after two days I put the brewbelt round the bin and it went up to about 22C and th SG came down from 1035 to 1010 overnight.
So drained it into the cask with the rest of the hops.
Had a sample with my breakfast this morning (start of a bad habit?) tastes promising.

Bypassed the cut-out on the Buffalo 40l boiler with a link so it can be put back to original if required and no problems with the boil this time.
