1tsp Irish Moss

400g Invert Sugar

75g Goldings Hops

2. Contain the grain and grits in a large grain bag to collect the sweet wort and sparge with enough water to collect 20L of wort.

3. Boil the wort with the hops for 1½ hours Dissolve the invert sugar in a little hot water and add this during the boil. Also add the Irish Moss to the boil at this stage.

4. Switch off the heat, add cold water upto the initial ferment level and cool the wort to fermenting temp as quickly as possible.
