Hi Rob. I'm very well thanks, had a very slack summer too, recently done a kit hack brew and a partial mash pale ale, planning a brown ale and a red ale to do over the next week or so, ten litre batch of each. Both partial mashes with DME. Found my way back from AG. I find partial mashes quicker and easier, and good quality beer. Still up for doing AGs though. The hacked kit is pretty good too. Just steeped some grain and did a short hop boil.[/quote]
Hi, good to hear from you again and that your brewing too. I must do the Red ale recipe you put up as I bought grains ages ago! I've just come in from checking my Orkney Dark, it's at 1.012 from 1.048 after liquering? back, only been 6 days so I'll leave it a bit yet as I know enthusiasm gets the better of me sometimes!! I'm going to do your IPA next as it was my first AG and by mistake added too much Caramalt but it turned out so good. Cheers for now.
Rob.
