We used to have pigs trotters when i was a kid, really tasty and of course a cheap meal when you are trying to feed a family

Welcome, Nice to have you here acheers.

My recommendation for your bitter would be WHC Old English ,flocs cleanly ,crystal clear ,and at lower temps fairly neutral to let everything else shine .

23 litres of Wit Beer , recipe taken from The Malt Millar , 2,817

My smoke generator cost about £35 , and you could put that in a BBQ etc :)

Some streaky bacon ,i made the over day , cured for seven days ,i then gave it two overnight smoking sessions using apple wood ,

Why not go totally crazy and treat yourself to a Fermzilla or similar :)

Have you possibly over boiled them ?

I am sure if labours paymasters were not on strike all the time the service would be far ,far better ,as for the labour party making it a success ,i am afraid i am not that delusional to believe it.

Did you pitch two packs of yeast for any particular reason ?

Vienna is a very nice malt to use as a base, slightly more colour and flavour than the very pale malts .

I will be brewing a Wit in the next couple of weeks using flaked wheat ,this is the third time of brewing one, and this time i am upping the the coriander and bitter orange peel to 40g as the last two brews have been a little underwhelming on these flavours . As for yeast i am using WHC Banana...

Good luck, looking forward to seeing how you get on with it :)

As above ,you can then stash a few away and forget about them for a few months

Might be better that way
