How do you find the ring wood mate?. Tempted to give it a go but heard its a bit temperamental

This is now crash chilling. Out of the fermenter, the yeast has thrown some nice mild "englishy" esters tending to fruit, reminds me of 1084 fermented at warmer temps. It was a HUGE diacetyl bomb, a taste at about 5 points from terminal gravity and I thought I'd slipped a nip of cheap "butterscotch" schnapps into the glass. Upped the temp to 22 for a few days and it cleaned it up without hassle.


Got 73% apparent attenuation, aerated with fishtank pump and stone.

Good balance of malt and hoppiness - nice flavour profile. It was slow, and has that diacetyl explosion, but it's different enough from 1.084 to be worth a try. Would be tops in a stout I think. I'm going to throw a strong ale on the cake.

Holy hell winkle, that's huge- at the very least it should prove quite useful for euthanasing the last recalcitrant revellers at any party! :icon_drunk: Steel yourself for the painful visages of death warmed up the next morning though, with hangovers rooted deep in the foul pits of Hades!

personally id be upping the rye to 10-15% if you want to call it a rye beer. And of course I recon youd be happy with the result. Ive foind that % is magic in pales, IPAs etc with out it being overpowered. Esp if your using a lot of hops. The hop resin and viscose rye match so well.

Somehow fucked up my best bitter and dark mild from last week (think I oxidised the starter - tasted bad and I tipped both of them) so re-brew today.

I got side tracked by a bunch of beers last nite so the brewing will happen mid week. The beer should be on tap for your next visit

 

[manticle]

Ouch

Was going to enter both into next week's MB British ales. Doesn't look like I'll make it in time but at least I should have some nice sessionable beer on the go for a bit.

Cheers cm2. Loosely based around a couple of clone recipes I found for Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye. Will see how this one tastes and up the Rye for another one to compare.

Gotta use up some hop stocks.... And its not the most I've used.... From memory I once did a double batch with 550g in the boil, and another 100g or so dry hopped. I also distinctly remember one of the kegs having a dodgy poppet, and leaking the entire 19L of hoppy goodness into the keg freezer......
