Made this using 69L
12.5kg marris otter
1kg wheat malt
1kg flaked maize

50G target or challenger :drink: 12.8% AA 90 mins
50g of above 60 mins
25g EKG 15 mins
75g EKG 5mins

started off with a new beer fridge for £10 but SWMBO took a liking to it

so ended up with this instead, its a freezer at the bottom, so will only hold about 50 bottles or a pressure barrel

Very difficult to decant the layers off though...
