curious as to why you havent stuck with belgian hops mate?
or is that MkII?
 
really its just an AIPA using Wy3787. The yeast lends it a really nice belgian character on the back end imo.
 
Fair enough. just curious.

FYI - there was a good article about next gen IPAs in BYO Mag. Black IPA, Wheat IPA, Rye IPA, Belgian IPA.

lets us know how it goes Fentsy
 
yea got that copy of BYO.

goes real well, hence the DB entry, smashed a heap last night and i'm not even dusty this morning.
 
85L batch? :eek:

be curious to know what you're working with and how you make all that beer vanish

120L esky mash tun with a Beer Belly false bottom, 2x 40L Birko Urn's as dedicated HLT's, 120L Aluminium pot with Beer Belly hop stopper as a kettle. I no chill so also have lots of cubes floating about.

Beer dosnt last that long at my bar as i have a few thirsty friends but its not like i brew 85L every weekend either so its always nice having 5 cubes just sitting there that i can pitch yeast to anytime. I prob only brew a big batch once a month but i also do BIAB in my urns for small experimental batch's like a 10% Belgian Triple.
