I too enjoyed you unwrapping the box!! Will you be having to reduce the size of your batch into it as there isn't as much head space as a 25L fermenter?

I too can vouch that the Wyeast smack packs are great and have always worked well for me in terms of fermentation. Unfortunately I cant help with the suggestion of splitting the pack across the 2 recipes which im guessing are 23L as are all of his recipes.

308 or 308S would be great! Thanks

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Its always good to hear someone else enjoys fruits of your own labour! Hops were Challenger & Fuggle with 15g of dried elderflowers. Target ABV was 4.5% and I achieved 5.5%. It was only my 5th AG recipe so was still getting used to the BM. Although in my brew day notes I...

The Elderflower ale Greg Hughes recipe

I'm guessing you still have mine to try too? You must have them stacking up to review!

Other hops I have: Progress - 75g Atlas - 48g Challenger - 27g Mount Hood - 67g Cascade - 35g Amarillo - 8g Chinook - 45g

I currently have this in the FV fermenting at the moment as is just about ready to bottle. Actually isn't that pungent considering there are 144grams of cascade in it! Hopefully it will develop over time.

Based on a previous Greg Hughes single hop pale ale recipe the grain I'm going to use is 4.7kg pale malt 0.235 kg Carapils malt I have 100g of Mandarine Bavaria AA 6.4% that i intend to use all of in this recipe. So what are the thoughts on the additions? Im always in favour of a hoppy ale...

How did it turn out using this hop? Im planning a single hop pale ale tomorrow with just this hop. Might post my own thread later regarding my possible recipe.

I have a customer with the surname Wannell. But of course it has two of them!

Quite cloudy in the glass, i thought it might have cleared a bit more even after being through the post or is that the style? Fruity pear aroma Perfect balance of bitterness over hoppyness for me! Could drink plenty of these! Think i might need the recipe for this!

Glad you enjoyed. Yes agree with the dryness. I find i can't drink too many of them together for that reason. Bear in mind i didn't use the yeast quoted in the actual Greg Hughes recipe though! A side question how do you quote someone's user name like that in a post?

Or if you are using a FV with a tap use that so no need to sterilise something else.

Cracked this open before drinking any of my own brew tonight. Sweet smelling caramel aroma. Nice hop taste and strength with a lingering bitter taste in the mouth. I thought quite light bodied. Very drinkable! Looking forward to the review of my beer.

I picked up your bottle from the post office today and will send you back the elderflower.

Glad I saw this post as I have 2 x 1056 in the fridge and one of them is slightly swollen. Recently purchase a glass flask to do a starter so at least I'm prepared.

That's what I do with my BM, but I don't adjust the hops quantities which I probably should??

Fair enough. What is the difference between the 308 & the 308S

That's fine with me! I've moved since the last bottle swap we did so ill send you a message with my new address.
