Yesterday was Tomato Sauce Mk II in the HLT - um the big pot. Longer boil, 4 hours, no idea the evaporation rate but it's nice & thick & very smooth. Added more cayenne and garlic this time

Cascade ale tomorrow - usual 1.040 and 25'ish IBU

[jt]

Masho !
94% ADM
6% Pale Crystal and a handfull of choccy for excitement
13 IBU Super Alpha to bitter and 12 IBU cascade from 30 minutes
1.040 with US05
Mash on, sparge water heating, had brekkie and now watching the clouds scud by at a great rate of knots

[JoKing]

30min addition of Cascade JT?

You certainly are verturing into the dark side here aren't you!

You should chuck 10 - 20g in at flameout just for the thrill of it!

Cheers.

Yea, 30 min - been doing this a long time - like the flavour, all late hops seems a little thin
30min 15 min and 1 or 0 min, dry hop 1g / l

As for thrills ? Well that was the handfull of chocolate !
