I found 200g 300g carapils to be very beneficial over 100g, loads of head from it. Just a 'heads' up :p
Looks great. No idea what bobek and ns will be like together, but go for it! :)

Thanks Rob,

Now mashing and apart from a big puddle on the kitchen floor and over dosing my mash liquor to 10ppm CaCO3 :? everything is good

Weather is not bad at the moment but have a tarpaulin rigged up outside.

I rise my coffee mug to summer! Hope it'll be a nice one Ed. Got to get hold of some carapils myself.
