I am newbie all-grain brewer, I’ve done this one twice now and both attempts turned out really well. Worth the money, in my opinion, I’d be happy to pay £5 a pint for a beer that tasted this good!

This turned out much better than I expected. The CBC made much of the problems of oxidation, which worried me. Hence, during all stages I was very, very careful re oxygen, and the final beer was, I think, pretty good. I’d have been happy paying pub prices for this.
I’d recommend you watch the CBC Youtube video about this beer before brewing it.
