I think the muscovado should add a nice touch. The honey will be interesting as it should carry through.

I've probably seen it in pictures before but I see you have gone for a small amount of height. I settled on using a wooden chair that the back rest had broken off having decided that table was too high and floor was too low.

Do you keep the control panel detached ?

 

[Rodcx500z]

20L to fv at 1050 bang on

Its not low really, i can still get a 23L fv under the tap. just makes it easier to lift the basket

 

[Rodcx500z]

Largerish mk4 this is the extra special version aiming for 5.3% let’s see how close I get

 

[Rodcx500z]

Aiming for 5.3% got this close enough for me

 

[Rodcx500z]

Not a lot going on today so Mrs cx500 says while it’s nice out do a brew so I did, a pale ale I over shot a bit or it’s the crisp best ale malt but it is beer

 

[Rodcx500z]

Taking advantage of the lovely weather, so another brew it is, crisp best ale malt a bit of amber and biscuit and 50g roasted barley hops all progress while I have 500g

 

[Rodcx500z]

That is bang on what I aimed for, 20L tucked up

So… if a cold ipa is where you make an ipa wort and ferment with lager yeast are you doing a hot pilsner?
