Does anyone have an All Grain clone of Lord Nelson Three Sheets Pale Ale.
It's a great beer & I want it on tap.
Cheers

Thanks dicko.
I've plugged a 20lt recipe into BeerSmith & it's obviously just a stab in the dark.
From the comments that I read, I've put together this.
JWM export pilsner
Munich
Crystal
Victory ( sub for simpsons imperial )
Galaxy @60
Cascade @15
Galaxy@1
OG: 1.047
IBU: 31.5
Colour: 11.2
ABV: 4.9%
Fermentis US-05
I'll have a go at this soon & see how it pans out. If you have any ideas or recommendations I'd like your thoughts.
It's one of the nicest beers I've tasted & I would love to replicate it.
If anyone else has made something very similar, I'd like your thoughts.
Cheers.

WTF is going on over at Lord Nelson?
My mate Gabba got hold of a six pack of TSPA a couple of days ago & this is not the beer I want to replicate.
I tasted it around 18 months ago when Screwy dropped in for a visit & the beer was incredible. It was so well balanced, great fruity flavour but enough malt to balance it out. IBU was great @under 30IBU, it was delicious. The beer we had the other day, I couldn't even get through the first one, had something seriously wrong with it. It was almost mouth puckering & bordering on astringent. The IBU was way out of control & it seriously lacked any malt backbone at all. It had a distinct honey type taste to it & left the tongue a little oily & coated, it was really bad. It was mashed high & had great body but that's where it ended. I really hope that we got a bad six pack because it's not the beer that I raved about some time ago.

Yep, i've had the same experience, but not that far apart. Grabbed a 6 pack about a month ago. It was superb! Grabbed another a few weeks later, it was dish water & bordered on undrinkable.

Perhaps the first was fresh and the second months old?

I could be wrong But I think I read that they contract some of the bottle production?
Sounds infected by that first description.

I looked at this thread wondering what people's impressions were because I had a schooner of it in December at a local pub and didn't enjoy it. Defintely got through the glass no dramas, but didn't go back for another. At the time I had a DSGA on tap at home and much preferred it. Made feel feel proud as a brewer actually, to have made something better than a commercial APA.
I couldn't pick that there was Cascade in it but ruled out Amarillo. Galaxy makes sense especially if it's used as bittering, as I just can't enjoy Galaxy like some do.

Sounds like there might be some handling issues with the final product.
