I brewed this last week but only just got round to sharing it…
The initial recipe was to be PDTNC’s Nelso Brucker but due to a few different ingredients I’ve given it the name of Admiral on Deck on account of the Nelson Sauvin hops.

I did a 60 minutes mash with about 20 minutes of recirculation with the solar pump. 2nd batch sparge for 30 minutes with a 15 minutes recirculation, followed by a 60 minutes boil.
Managed to get a higher efficiency than I was expecting on the mash, I did use too much water on my sparge so the final output was 27L of wort, not 23. The gravity was on target of 1.045 so had it been 4L less I’d have a stronger beer…
The US-05 yeast has done a good job and it is now tucked up in the secondary fermenter with a current gravity of 1.012.
Bottled this up into 56 bottles with a final gravity of 1.010 which gives it around 4.67% ABV.
Ahh, so this is where you posted it
