We got a NZ hop IPA free with the GF, so going to do that un first. Then start planning some recipes while it's mashing/boiling.

If you need any crystal 120 for any recipes give me a shout and I'll put some in the post for you. I've got more than I need.

Sound. I'll let you know. Reckon there'll be plenty of odds and ends ingredients flying about in this thread with loads moving onto all grain. Get a swap shop on the go.

Probably got more Carapils than I need as well.
Need to sweet talk the wife into having a drive down Darlington next week so I can pick up a 25kg sack of grain. Anything that would interest her down that neck of the woods?

Seems like a canny hike for grain that like! Nowhere closer you can pick up from?

There's a place in Felling but he doesn't stock 25kg sacks. Said he can get me one but would need a few weeks notice.

Not easier and just as cost effective to order online?
If you keep your spare grains cooled, dark and well sealed they should last for a fair while even if they're crushed...apparently.

Would rather try and support a local shop.

Fair enough, I'd do the same if mine wasn't 25 minutes away.

I'm in the same situation, she quite fancies that, so might have to knock one up

I plan on doing both tomorrow. Well get pissed while brewing, not gan out.
@DoctorMick got kernal double citra IPA planned for our second brew like. Hope it's as good as you've said, you supped it all yet?

Nah, still got a decent amount left, trying to savour it!
It is good tho, I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it, I got poor efficiency and final volume but I'm not sure if that was just down to it being my first gf brew or the massive grain bill. Top tip, get a metal paddle to stir in the grains, plastic is shite and with that grain bill it will struggle.
