woo hoo. yay inkbird

how'd your first one go mate (with high chloride)?

golden road's wolf pup is outstanding

is that how NE IPAs need to be with such a huge chloride hit? literally overloaded so much with hops in order to get their impact?

i do the same - paid beerlabeliser to get the full version (worth it for a measly $5), and use it to basically put a label and picture with all the other brew info for my website/blog. works well :)

when they're dirty, i clean/soak with sodium percarbonate (or napisan if i'm out). when i need to use it i'll empty the sodium percabonate solution, rinse it with boiling water (overkill but it never hurts), then spray it with starsan once the cube has cooled a bit, give her a shake to get the...

me. i think it's worth it, but my issue is not knowing enough about the nuances of all the additions - eg, how i personally prefer x water profile over y water profile. i'm sure i'll get there eventually. might split batches and alter only their water chemistry to compare.

looks and sounds amazing. this will be my next brew too.

the only hop i can think of that wouldn't look out of place in any style would be something like willamette. i bloody love that hop.

well according to BJCP mate, she's a style :) sounds awesome too haha.

looks mighty fine to me mate. what made it american? hops?

'new leaf' session ipa. my first lower abv ipa (~5% although future ones will be lower). simcoe, chinook, cascade in my face. only 7 days old but killing it. so much fruity aroma. needs a touch more in the flavour department but still stoked. **** pic. need some droid influences, light, and to...

thanks mate, i think you messaged it to me at some stage a while back. might have to try something similar :)

looks nice mate. i need to start making lower strength APAs. what are the mash temp/s, grist, and gravities if you don't mind sharing?

hmmm, i'm inspired to use it again. i used it in an ipa and perhaps it was just all the negative reviews of it stripping hop character, but i haven't used it since. might try it again because us-05 is a pain in the *** to clear.

don't be bashful or embarrassed about that type of beer mate - unless you actually hate it haha. those types of beers where what a lot of us all started drinking, and i still fancy also from time to time (especially in the heat!). if i had to guess, it is a reschs-ish kinda beer? :)

droid, mate, you have to stop. i get aroused every time you post a photo...

i've used w34/70 a few times on lagers at lower temps and mid range (15cish) temps and never really liked it. possibly just my tastes or more likely my mishandling of the temps and pitching so i might try giving it one more try before i leave it alone for a while haha. my local place has s-189...

i completely agree (i LOVE 1007 for beers like this) but in my mad rush to get ingredients, and in my time constraint with a 1 year old in tow, it was the best i could get haha.

not sure if i asked you mate, but do you work out ~300ppm sulphate then just split it? or add more than the pale ale profile?
