I did this Saturday, it was supposed to be Big Kenny again but it seems the hop shortage hit my freezer when i wasn't paying attention and i had no Syrians so i used Cascade instead. I had quite a lively start to fermentation and spent some time moping and cleaning my fermentation press but it's all in the name of beer :-)
I also bought the start to my HERMS system on Sunday night, god bless beer and ebay. A 70 L baine marie that will be used as a mash tun and a 50 L stock pot which will be used as a HLT. I'm bidding on a 70 L stock pot after been unsuccessful at my first attempt a winning one on e bay and that will be used as my boiler. I hope to have it up and running before the end of summer

About Me
Nelson Sauvin Ale
Although it's a high alpha hop Nelson Sauvin is a smooth bittering hop, i made a mistake while brewing this and it ended up about 90 IBUs instead of 35 IBUs but because of the hops mild bitterness i seem to have got away with it. There was no finings used in this brew or any brew i do except for a whirfloc tablet 10 mins from the end of the boil and still it has cleared great. I'm looking forward to messing about with this hop in the future.

So have you still been brewing with Golden Promise?
Any thoughts compared to other pales malts?
I hope the cascade treats this brew well.
I'm nearing the end of the bag of golden promise now. I find it a little sweeter than Maris Otter, very suitable for pales. I would have no problem buying it again
