there is an interesting comment about 1007 in Dave Miller's Homebrewing guide. On pg 146 it says ...
... this yeast will indeed floculate early and rise to the top giving a huge pancake of yeast on the surface. However if the pancake is not skimmed, the yeast will fall back into the beer and...
unfortunatly my beer ended up being a bit rooted ...
I used a new air pump to aerate the wort and I think it imparted a horrible plasticy flavour to it. (either that or the Chinooks were even stronger than I gave them credit for)
I ended up finishing the keg so it wasnt as bad as a couple of...
I was sad that Roger wouldnt give us any hints on a Roger's clone.

Hi Jye,
I would describe the aroma as "pungent" at the moment
Since I was trying to make a big Skunk Fart I didnt bother with Dry Hopping.
I would estimate the bitterness is in the mid-50s based on tasting the "Sail and Anchor" IPA the other weekend that is meant to be 50 IBUs

I made an AIPA that is quite similar to your recipe (based on the SkunkFart APA)
I think I went a bit overboard with the Chinook and Cennenial

I brewed in at the end of November and kegged it yesterday
THe Chinook is quite coase and almost metallic in...

in a former life I was the president of the WCB, then some organised people like Asher and Martin took it over :)
I used .5kg of yellow rock sugar in my second-last placing ESB (28.5/50) I made recently. It may not be a factor, but it didnt seem to ferment too cleanly with S-04.
It might be different in a belgian style but it had quite a white wine aroma to it.
of course, this could be unrelated to the...
Ouch !
my ESB scored 28.5
cant say I disagree.
I dont think pouring it into a soda bottle with my pluto gun 10 minute before I left helped this beer to be it's best.
I detected a definate white-wine (goony) aroma when it was served at the comp and it was cloudy too.
oh well, always next time...
