Well Mcook, It looks like our malt bills are almost identical! My recipe was based off Hoppiness, except your ABV is 1% higher. I'm assuming a better b/h efficiency yes? Im putting mine down on saturday with the hop weighout happinging before the beers come out, i can see it might get confusing otherwise! Looking forward to a taste off to almost identical beers. Except I think my hop profile is a little more complex :p

Actually mine finished a bit drier than I expected, which is probably where the extra percent came from. Not 100% sure why (as most of my other beers have finished spot on, as per the recipe), it was a good healthy pitch of yeast, or maybe my mash thermometer needs checking--anyhow tasted good out of the fermenter, so fingers crossed. Hope everyone is looking forward to this hoppy taste off.... :party:

The battle begins! Lets just hope mine attenuates fine. I just did a Sweet stout with 1968 (on its 4th repitch) with a dismal 60% attenuation. :unsure: Just wouldnt drop any further. I hope i get my AIPA down to atleast 1.016. Prepping my yeast starter tonight to get my cream ale fired off. Once shes complete i will be right into fermenting my beast of a AIPA :icon_drunk:

Gladiators... READY!!!!
 
Damn i feel silly posting this after seeing the AG stuff above, but here goes anyway;

Random English Ale

Kits and bits

Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale goo
1.7kg Amber LME
500g DME/Dex mix
20g Pride of Ringwood for 15 mins
10g at Flameout
Nottingham Yeast in a starter

OG 1048

Strong ferment at 17 degrees

Hoping this one comes out clean and easy drinking - not exactly a hop monster but that wasn't what i was going for here.

Tasting great now at 1018, still fermenting furiously, this should attenuate very well.

Going to have 1 week in primary then rack it. Will be gelatined as well for clarity.

Embarrassing compared to some of the other stuff on offer here but hopefully it's drinkable :-(
 
Not embarrasing at all for all we know it could be the best english random ever :icon_drunk:

Don't stress Neill - we all did kits at one stage (I still experiment with them).
These swaps are a great way not only to taste a myriad of different beer styles, but also to compare the different brewing methods (Kit/extract/partial/AG).

Rest assured, you WILL want to brew AG once you taste some of the beers on offer - some experienced brewers in this swap.
 
Hey Guys,

Looks like my hop schedule has changed slightly, had some leftovers, I didn't find the need to store away 5 or so grams. 1/2 way thru the boil... Its looking the goods! Extra dry hopping ahoy!

Sadly the volume on my AG english IPA fell short and I wont have time for another AG :(

So I decided to attempt a kits & mini mash...

Coopers Real Ale goo and 2kg ale plus some crystal, wheat and choc malt, topped up with 10IBU's of Northdown and Fuggles.
Fermented with Coopers Pale recultured yeast @ 18C, I had forgotten how much it smells like bubblegum.
23L minus a small loss for racking and that should get me enough for 28 longies!
 
Bottled the Vienna Lager today. I had to dilute with 2L water to make sure I had enough, hopefully the difference is negligible.
