Another possibility is not doing a boil at all and just a straight toucan.

Thanks Bum I will try that as well les work so sounds good

I'm smack in the middle of the N american continent. It usually hangs as -40C for a week or so in the winter and +40 for a bit in the summer with everywhere in between. Its pretty dry and lots of sunshine... sadly no surfing though :/ Lately its been around 0C, +/- 10. How about you?

Free Trail that sounds alright, Thanks for that i'll do a search on this site to c where i can get one from.
By the way what is a K & B brewer?

Whats the weather like over where you are mate ? can you buy coopers there?

Thanks for that Finnagann, I can now finalise my records for this one, as it is soooo nice I just have to do again soon.
Is that beersmith software handy for a K & K brewer like myself?

I'll try one substituting the usual 1.5lt of light liquid malt, just to see how it goes.

Thanks for your help, DUFF
