IMPORTANT!!
NOTE THE ALPHA ACID. YOU WILL NEED TO MATCH THE IBU IF YOUR HOPS HAVE A DIFFERENT ALPHA ACID %, WHICH IS HIGHLY LIKELY!!
YEAST
1 packet of Mangrove Jacks Liberty Bell
FERMENTATION SCHEDULE
7-10 days at 18 deg c. Then raise at 1 deg c per day until you reach 21 deg c.
You must ensure that you have a consistent FG for 3 days before your beer can be deemed finished.
For the best results give your beer some extra days in the fermentation vessel so that the yeast can clean up after itself.
There really is no rush!!

This video is about using PBW to clean your Grainfather for the first time before you start brewing. It is vital to give the grainfather a good clean before using it for brewing the first time. After this initial clean then you can use 7.5L water and 1 tablespoon of PBW.

This one shares one of my favorite speciality IPA recipes , which uses the "continuous hoping" method.
I include the full recipe and method but also throw a spanner in the works by deliberately creating a stuck mash!
I demonstrate the effect this has and show you how to get past this without letting it impact your end brew.
