2 doz tamarillos
1lb onions
1lb green apples
1/2 packet all spice
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tsp salt
pint vinegar

Peel and chop tamarillos, onions & apples.
Boil every thing for approx 2 hours
Stir often to avoid scorching

Makes about 4 to 5 450gm jars so I usually double up the recipe

Robust Porter (loosely based on)

4.90 kg Pilsner
0.25 kg Cara-Pils
0.25 kg Caramunich III
0.20 kg Black (Patent)
0.20 kg Chocolate Malt
0.20 kg Roasted Barley
25.00 gm Green Bullet [60 min) 31.3 IBU
15.00 gm Northern Brewer (15 min) 5.6 IBU
20.00 gm Amarillo Gold (0 min)

Not a traditional porter, but thought I'd give it ago as I see to like the roast malts.

Any issues using Wyeast 1968 in this? I have a packet of US05, but 1968 is on the stirplate now and it's a good size starter!

I think the 1968 will be good for it, give it heaps of maltyness. Yum! I harvested the 1084 on Friday, didn't realise how long it would take to stratify compared with the 1968! I can drop the 1084 off at your work tomorrow (I'm assuming you've got a fridge there)

Awesome! I read up that the 1084 attenuation was a little slow.

'No malt, no hops' - the reason I have sworn to never use this yeast again.

If liquid failed on me for an English beer I'd use S05 before S04, at least I'd be able to taste the hops haha.

Yup, attenuates too much for an 'English' strain. So boring. I feel sorry for the dry yeast users that have no access to liquid.
