Good recipe.

I have used Weyermanns Premium Pilsner Malt for a couple of brews and if you want a brew pale, it doesn't get much paler than that. It looks like water that's been tinged with a tiny bit of colour. Fantastic base malt though.

How did you find the First Gold hops? I've never tried them and would be interested in an opinion as to flavour and aroma. At the moment, I'm using bold american hops, but would like to expand my repetoire of English hops, as EKG are the only ones I really use.

I bough these hops from http://shop.humle.se/se/grp/first-gold.php
Because I live Finland thats is natural choise =).
I quess they will send anywhere but swedish woud be a bit difficuld to understand, even with us who read it in school few years
You can try google transalate...

Those prices are swedish krowns and 1 SEK is about 0.15 AUD
So 229 SEK ~35 AUD

If your country not be in the list, you can email them.
