Back up the truck here,did you say carrots . Give us a run down on the brew day.

[Taf]

Ha ha, yes he did say carrotts and I tried a previous version and it was very tasty, although not that carroty!

[Garry]

How are you using the Carrots?

If I remember correctly:

The carrot peel was added to the kettle at about 10 - 15mins to go.

The carrots were put into a juicer (like the one in the pic) and the juice and pulp were added to the FV when the wort was being transferred from the kettle to the FV.



And thanks to everyone at the FW for the welcome I got  It was my first time seeing an AG brew.

[johnrm]

Sounds interesting, do the carrots stop you getting blind drunk 

[DEMPSEY]

Ha ha john,ye beat me to it.
