AG#15 - Dark Island Clone

[calumscott]

Sunday's brew.

Marc Olloson Recipe but substituting the Omega hops for Northdown.

Just getting the starter together now. 2 litres @ 1.040 or thereabouts. Yeast from one of my favourite breweries.

 

[PD]

All the best calum Its a very good beer dark Island and is easily altered without detriment in my mind

Yeast from a brewery can be bit of a beast.

It was from the brewery, about 100ml of sludge. I figured it wanted growing on a bit but blimey, it's mental stuff!!! I thought it would still be going strong around now but no, it's eaten the lot and hungry for more. I just hope this wort finishes cooling before it decides it's not staying put, crawls out and eats the cat or something...
