Its run off the boiler into the FV before cooling in the bath, Yeast is s-04.
After a quick temperature and hydro check I’ve actually come the closest I’ve ever been to getting the correct SG and volume in the FV 🙂
On top of what Beer Engine said my total Liquor would be I added 1.5 Litres for Hop and trub losses, maybe I’ve cracked it!
It seems the real beer doesn’t exist any longer in its bottled form, as from what I can gather they only cask their ales now, no website either but here’s some info www.quaffale.org.uk/php/brewery/491

**Bottled 10/06/2009, tasted quite sweet.

***Tasted after 8 Days in the bottle, its blooming good already 🙂
