        But Simon, that's like having two braaiers at a braai.

          Man, but this Brown Ale is an active one!! Literally within 15mins of pitching the S04 yeast it started pushing the vodka in the bubbler and within 20mins the first bubbles escaped. Since then it has been a constant gurgling and, when I had to get up sometime in the middle of the night, I noticed that the little cap on the bubbler had been popped off, but with no krausen visible in the bubbler so I popped it back on and went back to bed.

          Looking forward to this beer!!

            Time to join in I have a Vienna red lager that has been lagering for the last 2 months while I have been here in Iraq. My wife picked up my 4 party kegs yesterday so the lager will go in there next weekend. Hopefully I can go and pick up the grains for a brown ale and IPA on my way back from the airport on Thursday afternoon.

            We are also getting a new addition to our family on Thursday (Great Dane puppy), hopefully I can get him to become my brew buddy and that he will be more interested in brewing than my wife, kids and English bull dog.

              Haha I have 3 Great Danes and they really aren't too interested in the brewing. They are however very keen on the cookies I make for them with the spent grain!

                I actually need to look into making those cookies. You mind sharing the receipt? Think that would keep the bull dog out of my garage when I am brewing and keep her from dragging all my tools out of the garage. Actually funny watching her on the grass trying to eat a metal hammer.

                  Sure. Here's the recipe. It isn't mine but the dogs really love them.
                  Ingredients
                  4 cups spent grain
                  1 cup peanut butter
                  2 cups flour
                  2 eggs

                  Step by step
                  1. Mix the ingredients together and press the dough onto parchment or wax paper.
                  2. Cut the pressed dough into shapes with a cookie cutter or using a knife.
                  3. Place the treats onto parchment paper on cookie sheet and place in a 180 °C oven.
                  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
                  5. After 30 minutes, drop the oven heat to 100 °C and bake for two hours. When the treats come out they should be dry and crunchy so they do not spoil/mold. If they are not dry after two hours, increase time at 100 °C. You want to dry them, but not
                  cook them to the point where they are hard to break.

                      I did a BIAB Brown Ale a couple of weeks ago and it too was really active in the beginning.

                          4 of these will make it into the Black Ale if you take dry hopping into account!

                                200g of hops is more than I have done before! Should turn out pretty good. Hopefully!
