this one turned out good maybe a little light on the IBU's by the end of the keg it was awesomely sessionable
Made some adjustments on the next as follows
made to 28l (for some extra longies for testers)
adjusted the hop additions up to 43 IBUs
added 500g of amber LDME
300g Crystal
however I dry hopped with cascade and Amarillo (run out of citra)
After three weeks in the FV 8 days carbing this one is looking better again with a better balance with malt, bitterness and sweetness the only downside I think the Citra gave a much better aroma (next time)
I must say being time constraint (3 kids under 4)I think I've just about perfected a perfectly acceptable brew with out going to all grain of course, I still have 5 coopers kits to brew through but after that ill be sticking to full extract for a while.
