OK
I have done a lot of thinking on this and after a couple of failed attempts im going to have a shot at a good APA.
I have never brewed much of the "yank" type beers partly because of bad experiences (my stuff ups in the past) and the fact that cascade seems to be the 90's equivilant of a "NO FEAR" sticker on your car. I tent to shy away from what is the norm...... thats just me. Its what makes me special
Now. As i said i have been thinking, and trying some LCPA but that didnt turn me.
I tried a glass of Pale Ale at Potters brewery in the hunter valley ( a couple of weeks before the HAG day) and it was great. I really liked it!!!
Whats in it i asked.......
Well a gentleman never tells but all those "C" words i had baged out came back and bit me on the arse!!!
Now.
I have read a lot of stuff on this forum over the years and it seems the Skunk Fart Ale is the benchmark. Which version i dont know but a combo of a few of them has to be good right
So i have had a go at knocking up something simple but close to Jayse's recipe to brew next week with some US56. I am going to use a bit of nobil stuff to smooth out that "pinecone in the mouth" thing i have trouble with with when lots of "C words" ar at hand.
Ok enough ranting....... hers is my idea.
Any coments, ideas or blank cheques in the main are welcome
Cheers
