To be brewed inthe next few days (illness dependant)

This was the first 25L AG that I did back in April 2007 (same day that AT started AG), it turned out nice, the Elderflowers give the beer a really nice floral finish. (I've altered this a bit from the original that I did) Obviously given the name of this beer I'll be taking recomendations for a 'strap line' for the bottles, this one should be nice for when Easter come around!

Thanks lads, just about to start the run-off

good luck , it looks like a nice one

Sparge underway now, this was the recirculation, it's a nice colour.

Good luck, what yeast are you using?

Going to use s04 (again) - I need to get my head around different yeast styles, thats the next stage on the learning curve, out of interest what would you go with for this, I want it to be a 'clean' and light tasting floral ale?

Looking good Wez

A pint of Randy Sparrow to help the brew evening along. This was brewed 3 weeks ago today.
