Ok so I finally put down the English Bitter kit yesterday using BE3 & Nottingham yeast with 20g EKG, 25g Fuggles and 30g Bramling Cross hops.

As suggested, boiled the EKG for 15mins then steeped the Fuggles/Bramling for 30mins before adding to the FV.

I originally intended to use 25g of each but only had 20g left of the EKG, so bumped up the Bramling to 30g to make it 75g of hops all up.

OG of 1036. 

We'll see how it goes

So fermentation already appears pretty much done. Don't think it's quite there at 1012, would hope for another couple of points at least but will take another SG reading tomorrow

Sample tastes fantastic though! Nice hop flavour, with a good level of bitterness and very reminiscent of beers I had back in the UK. So looking forward to drinking this properly in a few weeks
