Ha ha, awesome. And I don't think we knocked over any bottles. (Unlike those Victorian guys h34r: )

 

[antiphile]

Come on. Let's not make fun of the deficits of our southern cousins. I've seen TV shows that suggests some of them can run and kick a football, and even a select few can jump and catch it occasionally. Yet not one of them have learnt the delicate skill of body coordination that allows them to dive for a try line. Maybe if instead of allowing the smart ones to flee north unopposed, and we send a few back, they will educate the others of the skill of playing a proper game.

(Antiphile now needs another new identity).

Hey Phil what was the pale ale you were dishing out in bottles?

 

[antiphile]

Woohoo. I knew I had it here somewhere. Liam, this recipe is right except for the dry hop. I actually split this one into 2 FVs after chilling. One got 20g mosaic dry hop, and the other, which was the one you were talking about, got 20g Ella for 4 days.

Hmm, the stats aren't there for some reason, but it ended at ABV 6% before priming, and I'm guessing 6.3% after bottle carbing.

Edit added 1:45 pm. But slowly I'm finally coming to the realisation there is a lot of value in increasing the very late and dry hopping quantities for APAs and IPAs. Though not quite as much as our weekend heady topper kegging friend! :lol:

I just drank one, very nice.

[time01]

I wouldn't mind attending one of these in the future, do you rotate venues?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

yep, keep an eye out for a thread for the Xmas in July swap. Some brave foolish soul will put up their hand to host.

Ok you win bottle plonking... I mean planking

 

[antiphile]

Phew. I suspect Yob didn't see post #304, so I might have got away with that one.

 

[Yob]

No, it's under group discussion

 

[Parks]

Also started off with Antiphile's bonus bottle.

Very nice, sessionably scary for 6%. Definitely increase those late additions but as-is is pretty great.

 

[lukiferj]

Top ******* arvo/night/morning everyone. Not sure why I'm the one that ends up copping an eyeful of man bits every swap but I sure hope it never changes.
