First thing I want to know, is where has the odd 4g of Amarillo gone??

The EB was certainly bland and bitter when I brewed it, and I dry hopped mine with a small amount of Goldings too.

I think that yours will be tasty and smelly ;-)

This one was my very first brew. Brewed with 1kg of brewing sugar. I enjoyed it and would brew it again. I'd use BKE next time though. Seemed a bit thin with just brewing sugar.

I'm drinking it now. 2 jars H&b malt extract plus 250gms of brown sugar. Tastes great. I've made it a few times now. Always been good!
