James Squire Abbey Ale Recipe Advice

[hoppinmad]

I tasted the James Squire Abbey Ale at the Beer and Brewer Expo in Melbourne on the weekend and I have to say that is an awesome beer! The missus loved it as well so I forked out $20 for a six pack of the stuff. Not sure I want to keep paying that so I am going to attempt to brew something similar at home.

After researching the beer, this is what I have come up with so far:

I'll tell you my thoughts Hoppin. I nearly drove into Dan Murphy's at Mornington this arvo, but, I didn't. To busy bustin my arse to get home and fire up a PID temp controller my sparky mate wired up for me. That'll teach me, but I will be in there tomorrow to try some out. Sorry, that doesn't help with your post.

not sure dan murphys sell it razz.... but maybe when you've got your PID sorted you'll be able to have a crack at the brew yourself!
