Well done Pineys like the way you have gone about this. Scientific approach start with the base and build from that that gives you the experience of your own makings with that your on your way. Extra malt instead of enhancer give you more body straight up and the hop tea the bittering profile of...

Drinking this ATM. Awsome clone of the real thing knocked it outta the park. Definitely be a staple in the shed.

No razz first blue also added some concentrate flavour not treated also. Biggest piss off was 6 month ageing then end up with brown vinegar.

Ok final result is in . DISASTER totally oxidized on pouring had a fizzing head that dissipated in like 10 secs . Tasted the rum and oak in it . Over oaked and just wrong pretty sad really tipped it into the mulch pile. Think the staves may have introduced some infection. Lesson learned .

Brewed a few of T.L s brews from back in the day all where exceptional beers so i will be making this on my break starting on Thursday.

That means added the yeast to the prepared ingredients in the fermenter.

Count me in thanks inkbird.

Pitched on yeast cakes more than a few times, Never struck any problems use the method wisely when doing close to the same or a change up that requires a good kick start. Sanitation always a key but there's so much over thinking shit in brewing some of its a bit hard to swallow.

So i got a set of scales off evil bay you know the cheap arse plastic ones. Big mistake these things are useless out by as much as a kilo trying to measure a 4.5kg grain bill. So dont be tempted folks the old addage you get what you pay for certainly applies here.

Always rinse bottles as soon as you empty them just hot water and bit of detergent. Better still go to kegging so much easier.

I think we have all been there in our early days you tend to over think the whole process . Once you have done a few its a walk in the park and your reward will be some fresh 100% your own beer that is better than most store bought beers.
