Picture of the empty kettle and all the break materials and hops and the hole I scraped in the gunk!
I've got over 23 litres to fv which at 24 litres gives me a BHE of 75.9% which is still on the high side from my usual 72-74.

That’s one of the reasons I use leaf!

 

[MickDundee]

I have a kind of a user upper NEIPA about to go on:
4kg MO
500g Vienna
350g flaked wheat
500g oats

60g Nelson Sauvin and 60g citra at flameout

That leaves me with 100g each of Simcoe and El Dorado for dry hopping. 50g of each on 2 dry hop charges.

Ferment with Lallemand Verdant

I had a go at at a 3C AIPA yesterday, never tried to produce one before. not mega strong, only 1042 FG.

I ummed and ah-ed about what yeast to use; I had a Lallemand New England, a Lallemand Verdant, and an MJ42. I'm not adventurous with yeasts and don't use a wide range.

Eventually I decided I'd copy MickDundee above and go with the Verdant. Never used any of them before.

I’ve just used it the once before, but I really liked it. I know there are a couple of members of the forum that don’t like the vanilla notes it can give to the beer though, but I do.

Managed to snag a couple of demijohns for a £1 each so it seemed rude not to throw a couple of brews (cider assembling) on.

[Rodcx500z]

Just knocking up some of the pilsner I bought few gr black malt, oat’s with fuggles, styrian Golding and some first gold left over from kits

 

[cushyno]

26L of a woodsy, piney, orangey Amber ale fermented with Voss. It's a twist on my recent "Wild Thing" recipe I'm going to call "Wildwood". Original, eh?
Somehow lost a few points on OG which may be due to me upping water while locking ingredients in Brewer's Friend app and not recalculating grains.
It should still be about 4.8%ish.

Went for as much as possible in the kettle. This was before carefully adding the last litre!

Safely averted boil over by spooning off hot break. Added a tablespoon of Voss slurry and it was bubbling away at 33degC half an hour later
