Evening all :salute: Thought I'd give you a quick update. Brew is still in primary and I drew a sample to check FG, ended up at 1.018. Was aiming for something close to an ESB or Old speckled/crafty hen type beer and am quite surprised by how well it's turned out :thumbs: I reckon I over hopped a bi...

Thanks for the encouraging words, PP :drink: The jury are still out on the integrity of the recipe but I'm hoping it'll be a reasonably good ESB, type beer. Like I said it's going to be a bit high in the ABV department, to get any prizes in a competition for best of style, but I can live with that. ...

Alright all, Brit in exile in the Orient. Just over a year of brewing with extracts and kits. Munton's, Cooper's, black rock etc. Extracts with steeped grains, partial boil, hop additions is my present level of ability. turned out quite a few impressive batches thanks to control of ferm temps, pitch...
