Hi everyone,
After much reading and research I have decided to give the AG a go. To date I have done a few extracts plus grains and of course a lot of kit plus bits. But now the time has come to AG.
I followed the great instructions about building a mash tun. Mine is a small esky plus braid and bung. I frigged around with flanges and treaded pipes for a while but decided the braid and bung was far superior and simple.
I ordered the grain from ESB and the "hops from out-a-space" from Ross.
I have decided on what I think is an ESB. I would love a few comments on the recipe, here it is:
