Wow, that is a lot of hops, Glad you got good reviews for it.

I may have to give this a try, looks my kind of beer

For my 45L brew length that would be 600g of Hops, which would absorb a total of 9 litres of wort

what do you use to ferment the smaller batches?

Great cheers!

Jesus,

And here's me baulking at using over a 100g pack of hops!

Hello all,

I have just bought some all-grain equipment and I am looking to use this as my first recipe!

I think I will be using this website to buy my ingredients: http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/ - it has come to around £25 which does not seem too bad. The hops come in 100g vacuum packed bags. As I will be using only around 10g of hops (per style of hop), what shall I do with the rest? How shall I store them? How long do they last?

The same with the grain, I will have some left over. Can anyone recommend how I should store them?

If I was to up-size to an 8L batch, I presume that I simply double up.

With the yeast, how much shall I use, a full 11g sachet?

Hi Ged, I gotta be honest ...... I don't think this is the best recipe to start on. Start with something a bit more typical ..... start with the basics. Part of the learning process (new equipment) is learning quantities and temperatures.

The Malt Miller is a great start. and I can only echo Joe.

11g of yeast is good for a 23 litre brew, if less than 23L, I would still put the whole 11g in. If your doing more than 23 litres then 2 packs might be needed.

Don't forget, hops absorb a lot of wort. A brew of this type can be hard to work out.
