I find that DME is easier to mix in warm water rather than hot or boiling, I usually mix my kit malt in boiling water and once added LME to it and it clumped up and was hard to get it disolved, I now add around 5Litres to the boiling wort and then add the DME slowly and mix with a paddle/spoon.
Does it need a bit of careful nurturing, this yeast? I often wonder, with it being a stone square yeast originally, if it would just start to climb out of the FV and constantly need stirring back in.I used the Wyeast Yorkshire yeast which is absolutely perfect for this beer.
