Hi all, my first brew back after a bit of time off. I put together this:
It started out at 18ltrs at 1.085, I now have 3 demijohns full as I racked off the wort into secondary, and a little spare in original FV which might go into a couple of 500ml bottles. I pitched two packs of MJ Liberty Bell and it's now down to 1.010, so I get that to about 9.7ish%
I'm not too sure if it a Old ale (with honey) or a Barley wine. Just had a wee taste out of the gravity measure jar and you really get a hit of honey and malt but not an overly high alcohol taste (but i tastes STRONG) if that makes sense??
Hops
