There is nothing really local anywhere close to Rota that I could ever find. I ordered everything online. The shipping was a little high but I was able to save a few dollars because it I had a military address.
The two best things I did was stepping up to full boils and controlling temperature. I picked up a used freezer for 50 bucks. Just look around for a deal. Most other methods are a pain in the ass.
This is a killer brew. I did the side by side of a full boil vs a traditional stove top boil. The only difference that I can really notice is the full boil is smoother tasting. I still get the the sweat roasty coffee flavors, but the full boil seems to blend better together. Maybe someone more...
Bottled after a month. Came out with the following readings: OG 1.060 FG 1.023 ABV 4.8% I'll post taste reviews and a side by side of my buddies in about a month or so.
Me and a buddy brewed up 10 gallons of this last night. He did a partial boil and I did a full. The only difference is we used a full ounce of hops and pitched 1.5 packs Nottingham dry yeast. Less than 8 hours later, both carboys are rattling in the freezer. Looking forward to tasting this brew...
