LDME 1kg
dex 1.5kg
bh1 1kg
maple syrup 500g
15 kg cascade hops @ 5 mins

OG 1048
FG 1014? (Gotta buy a decent hydrometer. the bilo special does not suffice)

What yeast and final volume did you have?

Using 2 cans and all those extra fermentables I'm suprised that a kit yeast would be able to finish it all.

How many litres? That s a shirt load of fermentables.

To get an OG of 1.048 it must have been close to 40+ litres...

Didn't you mention a 60L fermenter in another post Zephyr?
