I put it down yesterday, if anyones done one like this or something similar or just wanna have a dig alls welcome its my sixth solo brew so yer still learning like 2 brews ago i was making a VB clone like the brew cellar recipe said with the Morgans Aust Bitter can and instead of it turning out golden it came out red its not bad at all to sample but the colour just threw me thats all and yer if ive trashed 23L of water my bad.. Oh and does anyone no what hops they use in the Heritage Lager it said that its Euro aroma & im guessing its POR for bittering.. Any suggestions on the Euro?
Cheers


Also i have to get my brew supplies from a country hardware with not much to choose from & i got the last lot of stuff thats not out of date, so im doing the best i can with what i got...
