AG BIAB No 6 being brewed outside - bl..dy freezing!!

4 kg Maris Otter
500g Pale Crystal Malt
375g Dark Crystal Malt
25g Challenger - 60 mins
15g Challenger + 10g EKG + Irish Moss - 15 mins

The first 5 have produced excellent beers, better by far than any kit I have ever brewed. Really worth freezing your bits off for!!

Looks like a nice, relatively simple recipe and the sort of thing I'm going to do next. :thumb:

Stand close to the pot!

Did you get any chill haze in your first 5 batches, with just a 60 min boil? (assuming you chilled to serve). I'm considering extending to 90 mins after getting chill haze in my first two AGs, for what it matters.

looks a nice recipe you can't go wrong with EKG at the end :thumb:

Hi Everybody, thanks for the replies. No real problems with haze but clarity has improved markedly since I bought a wort chiller. I don't serve my beers chilled, just drunk at cellar temp about 50 degrees C, I'm lucky, I have a walk in pantry which stays cool all year.

I keep my bottled bitter under the decking of my lodge so it gets COLD!!! this weather and come in with a haze. I leave it at room temp for a while and the magic transformation to crystal clear happens!
