Notes

I have made this recipe to make using my Grainfather and will be using grain sourced from Ireland
My idea is to brew a more older style bitter ale that is more malty and less citrus then the Americain inspired IPA's
I intend to use a yeast starter and then let the fermentation carry on for two weeks so hopefully it will all but ferment out in about a week and the second week the yeast can be left to clean up after its self and settle out a bit
I think I will ferment it at about 19c but that might change to a bit lower tempreture if I see any advice it might beneficial to the beers flavour
