Piss off or Buy Me A Beer
SJ Green gilled with envy. I hope the AG goes well for ya mate!
Oh and the airlock has stopped! :lol:
Quick, grab the phone and dial 1800-BUTTERS and if that line is busy (there are a lot of newbs around!!) try 1800-DEADKITTEN
... Squires IPA. Sounded quite similar to the description of the FWK you got from Craftbrewer.
You could go out grab one and taste it, however this will do one of two things:
1. You will enjoy it and relax about the beer you are fermenting and calmly wait for it to condition and then drink it all up
2. You will hate it, and dread every second it sits in the secondary, hate every moment you spend bottling and curse the the filled bottles while carbonate and condition.
The choice is yours, choose wisely.
(Disclaimer for both options the final beer you produce may be nothing like the Squires IPA and you will disappointed or overjoyed regardless)
I don't think this has been a very helpful post for you, but i thought i would throw the idea out there anyway!
:icon_cheers: SJ
GULP! :unsure:
Chappo,
That wasn't the sound of you finishing off Butters cheif assasin for lunch was it??
Update time yet again:
The IPA is still at 1010 @ 18C (last 4 days) - Definitely good smooth flavours have developed through it, lost the sweetness but still a nice hint of malts but I'm still not happy with the hops flavour and aroma, it's lacking a finish IMO. I was "that far" (holding thumb and forefinger together) away from drying hopping it last night with some cascades but thought better of it. Damn conscience! :angry: It will interesting to see what the other guys think of it when they try it?
I racked to secondary cube last night and fined. I'm going to hold it for 24 hours CC for 48hrs and bottle on Saturday.
So all things being equal I'm on track to have then in the post say Monday morning.
There are brewers that are not members of AHB.
We don't all run around telling others how wonderful/ successful we are - thank God.
Rgds,
Peter
