Big Brew Day Approaches!

My lady wife is off to a craft fair with the outlaws this Saturday so I will take the opportunity to spend the day brewing.

As I already have a large batch of an amber bitter bottled up I have decided to make two 10litre batches. One an American style pale ale with cascade hops, similar to this one. The other a dark seasonal ale based on a recipe from St Austel Breweries called Big Smoke. This is a first for me, its a lot darker than any of my previous brews and I have never tried a beer with smoked malt in it. Should be fun.

This will give me a nice selection of beers for Xmas and well into the new year! Cheers!
