ok after some thought,it sounds a bit of a ballache
im gonna knock it on head (sounds too much hard work for my liking)
i might use the yeast to make a lentil wash or a plain sugar wash
as for the hops i might call in my local home brew shop and see
if we can do a trade on summat

thanks for your input guys

Good point. I was wondering about how to say that. Grahams book is very good.

Hi Magnu420

If you've not made a full mash beer before, I'd do a bit more research, it's a long days work and a lot to go wrong if you have no experience, what equipment do you have for mashing and sparging?

A good forum is http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk I used to use it a lot, lots of helpful advice, I even asked if anyone had ever built a reflux still a few years ago, the thread got shut down but I got some good PM's pointing me towards some stilling forums and recommending some good books :-)

Graham Wheeler himself is also a member on this forum

Buy it crushed

Mash Wheat and Malt 66c for 90mins.
Sparge and then boil for 90 mins.
Add the first hops after 15mins of boil.
Add irish moss 10 mins before END of boil.
Once boil done add remaining hops (steep for 30 mins)
Cool to 25c (quickly)
Whisk to get some air in it.
Pitch yest and Ferment.

Anavrin. Cracking recipe...it's nice to see someone else's book covered in dribbles and scribblings.

Fuggles is a great multi purpose hop. I tend to be a bit heavy handed with it.

Here's some pics from each book, the first is the newest 3rd edition, I've scribbled on it as I adjusted it slightly

This is from an early book, 1998 I think, the recipe is slightly different but there's a little more info in terms of what malt to use

Also a little stronger and with more hops
