Looking forward to this one, gonna be a bit different what with Munich malt too.





and now for the pics...

Yes i know elements need a clean.

Went well and ended up at 1046, which was a bit strong as I wanted a lower gravity beer so I diluted it a bit with water and brought it down to 1040.

Going to dry hop this with 10g of First Gold for 3 days after fermentation.

Nice pics Chris :thumb: You add the malt to the tun before the water? how does that work for you? i always thought it would result in lots of dry balls of malt but i never tried it

Never had a problem. Usually add it in stages fill the tun with a bit of water add grain and so on.

How do you do it?
