Hello everyone, I'm back after 16 years! I've brewed a couple of all grains in the past, with varying success, one good Pale Ale using recovered yeast from Summer Lightning bottles and the last one a Porter which I had to ditch. That was March 2008!
I think my last post then said I was looking forward to my 3rd attempt... well it's been a long time coming! But tomorrow is the day!
A month ago whilst talking with a friend, who brews great beers using Malt extract kits, he asked if I still had the equipment to do All Grain? Yes I have... and so tomorrow we are brewing a Sussex Best clone from the Malt Miller using a Brewlab slope yeast. The yeast starter is looking good, started it 2 days ago, I've just treated the water with Campdem tablets. So fingers crossed and wish us luck! Cheers everyone Jed aka John.
Hello again :)

Re: Hello again :)
Welcome back. Hope it goes well for you. Are you doing any other water treatment apart from a Camden tablet?

Hello and thanks. No other water treatment, I only used Campden tablets. Water treatment is not something I've really looked into. I am in a hard water area though so maybe something I should investigate. Was going to wait and see how the beer comes out.

Hello and thanks. Yes it's one of my favs too. Brew day was successful, almost 2 weeks in the bottles now. I'll post up some Brew day pics and notes.
