Can I make Cyfnos? The answer is maybe! This beer is produced using the full mash method. While this is not complicated it does take a lot of explaining so my advice it to buy the book listed below.

• Pale Malt 4000g
• Flaked barley 370g
• Roast barley 275g
• Challenger hops 40g
• Target hops 25g

• Make sure everything is clean and sterilized!
• Most of the equipment can be found in a kitchen. Brewing bins, barrels and demi johns can be bought new, but have a look in car boot sales and second hand shops you never know what you may find.
• The bottles again can be bought, but why not have a few Newcastle Brown Ales and use the empties?
• The only bit of equipment that you may have trouble finding is a crowner. However, for a sample of your brew you can always use mine!
