Hah yes indeed! Prob take me 2 weeks to get through them having a low tolerance for alc, one and i am good for a couple of days :lol: Really enjoying bigger beers now though, brewing and drinking them, albeit very slowly.

A rare little treat for me. Just had the Hop Hog, never been able to get hold of it before. Very nice IPA, loads of aroma and flavour that lasts and lasts! Would not mind being able to replicate hop profile, but for my taste i would have a bit more malt depth and a touch more bitterness.

On again tomorrow. Times vary depending on location 2.30pm, 3.30pm. {Big sweet smelling sticky poo} i am bored today. EDIT: 7 Maaaatte

I had the displeasure of trying some beer brewed by this mob a couple of weeks ago. They definitely like to push the line they are a " Real Micro Brewery" so much so that i could not convince others any different and what i do is just "home-brew" Having only tried beer from a BOP place once...

Are you going to no chill into cube? If so grab yourself a SS jiggle siphon tip and 2m of silicone hose, have a look at gryphon brewing i am pretty sure they have both.

Nope :o

TRUE good point. Make sure the blanket is in good condition, as mentioned never fold them, even for storage when not in use. On the rare occasion i have done what i said, i moved the box around daily to avoid damaging with the weight of it and never left it on if i am not around.

Sort of the same as me, although my ambient drops to 8 - 12 if I don't keep the fire going. But generally its around 18 - 22 with the heating on, so i just keep my box or boxes of bottles around that area for 5 to 7 days and they carb up in no time at all. And my paler beers are generally good...

This would be my guess

Very nice! :icon_cheers:

From what exactly? I always pitch plenty of fresh healthy yeast, i would hazard a guess more than most people do for a 23L batch and i usually do 12L. There is little or no pressure build up in my fermenter, if there was there would be a definite hiss when opening the lid. Also i recall a recent...

Just use a fermenter with an actual lid with seal and it cant escape... I have a massive 1272 krausen pushing up against my fermenter with lid after 24hrs..i am not worried in the slightest :P

I bought a 4 pack a couple months ago when they first started popping up. I guess i might call it quite " sessionable" for a stout. I found it was better at slightly lower temps than what i am used to drinking other stouts and darker beers. As it warmed the choc/vanilla thing became artificial...

Sort of relevant i guess...but i have become a fan of chilling in the cube or slow chill what ever you want to call it for beers with late hops. A few minutes after FO add hops, stir for 5 mins, let sit for 10min, drain to jerry, squeeze all air out and seal, let sit for 5min on each side...

Massive call there! :o

If its already bubbling away nicely after that amount of time, chances are it has started fermenting, in which case your yeast growth phase has finished. You can let it ferment out and wait for the yeast to drop in their own time (my preferred method - less stress on the yeast) then just pitch...

stopped at potters on sat morning, it was close enough to midday....i think cranky pants is a delicious beer! great place in general, got some bottles to take away. 2IC brewer was good for a chat about beers, it was great to meet a female passionate about brewing. highly recommend visiting.

Had one today on tap with lunch. Pleasantly surprised, creamy white head that persisted the entire glass, nice aroma, lots of hop flavour, bit of sweet malt and a crisp clean finish. I was burping hops for a good hour after. DY hotel

oooh pick me pick me
