Lastest brew put down on Saturday.
No need to comment just so I can keep track on ingredients so if I finaly make a nice brew I can remember what I did and I'm not good on backing up data on PC's and have suffered a few Hard drive failures.

1.7kg Morgan's Australian Draught (in at flameout)

5 litres Boiling filtered rain water
1kg LDryME 1/2 in at first boil other 1/2 in at 20mins( I get confused is it LDME mean liquid dark malt extract, light dry malt extract ect best way for me to make the distinction)
500g Dextrose ( brewing sugar)
9g Cluster ( 45mins)aa6.2
8g perie ( 20mins) aa6.4
8g Glacier ( yet to go in, thursday)
8g american ale Yeast ( pitched 20c)Started slow bubbling tuesday morning.

15l chilled doubled filter tank water
