I couldn't sleep, so I've converted the original 330l recipe into both 20 litres and 5 US gallons (18.9L) - somehow I think the original recipe was developed in metric in 5 US gallons, but I've converted the grist and water volumes of the second version into a format that should be easier for the colonials to understand (but hops in ounces is just silly)
Note that Cheshire water is very soft, Tesco Ashbeck is a close match and you're not adding much by way of salts.

Who was the plonker who called you a moonshiner?

Could it be this from the thread -

https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/four-priests-brewery-youtube-channel.97261/post-1138960

 

[Scrattajack]

It was mentioned on this episode that @chopps said he'd been accused of being a moonshiner because the poster didn't approve of one of his brewing methods. My comment was a light-hearted reference to that.

Good lordy-lord. It's a reference to a long rant on the contents for this video.

It's easy to find. It's the one about 8 pages long. Wowsers. Apparently all single infusion mashes are just moonshining and you have to have 3 rests to make non-moonshine ale or lager .

Cheers NB! It was developed originally in metric for my 50L home made Clawhammer system, then scaled to 330L for production. Then I scaled it back down to a 5 US gallon brew (using the BYO defaults) at I was in a US based podcast and it made sense to their listeners, so some of the conversions might look odd. Well spotted sir.

Thanks @Scrattajack found it -

Yeah, he’s a troll (I think) and many YouTube brewers get a copy paste of his nonsensical ramblings from time to time. It’s considered a badge of honour apparently.

I invited him down to brew Murgy - once using my moonshine process and once using his, followed by a blind tasting at the Kings Lock. No reply.

Did you put that in your video comments to show him for the troll he is?

 

[Agentgonzo]

Yeah, he’s a troll (I think)

I think you're getting quite generous there. Absolutely a troll!

 

[chopps]

Did you put that in your video comments to show him for the troll he is?

I did, he got a public reply to one of his identical YT comments. He's been on a couple of them now.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Does YouTube allow you to block people from commenting?

 

[chopps]

See Michael James comment and reply.
User 'Analogue' puts his reply more succinctly than me.

[chopps]

Does YouTube allow you to block people from commenting?

Yes, block, delete, report etc are all available. There's also an automatic filter for some things.
I leave him in. I just remove the spam bot links, usually ****ography, but everything stays. So far.

 

[YeastFace]

What an absolute Belmet (both bellend and helmet).

 

[allotment_fox]

Very much enjoyed both of the brews at the Robin Hood Beer festival at Trent Bridge on Thursday I could just detect a few little bubbles On the Bitter from the small amount of carbonation additive at packaging time it travelled well and I well enjoyed drinking it.

The Murgy was also well enjoyed I would love to do a side by side with some other brews it was very enjoyable well done *****

Yes. Analogue put it much better than you did
