Brewer's Notes

Ok, haven't brewed this one before, but planing on getting a good result so any advice would be great.. here's the plan

I can’t see any Heritage Crystal on the grain list so I use what I though would be closest.
Also I am using US Bravo as bittering Hop with 18% AA (nugget is the kinda close but nowhere near 18%AA

Mash 12L @ 60C x 60 mins + 65C x 60 mins + 70C x 15 min

Spange with 5L (75C), swirl and bring to the boil @ 30min)

Boil extract only with 7L of water in separate pot

Gradually add wort in at last 20 mins

11.5g Safale UK 04 Pitch at about 20C
Drop to 16C & maintain for week to 12 days

Rack on 200g DME & 20g EKG (optional)

Keg after a week (1/2 with some French oak tea-experiment)

Taste 5-10 days later, if it need time I'll bottle one keg and store the other.
