My simcoe and cascade APA...picture makes it look too dark. It is just within the boundaries of the guidelines of an APA - but I don't really care that much - I love the colour. It is also crystal clear after gelatine and polyclar...

First beer from the new Kegerator, very pleased :beerbang:

Here is the Recipe I did, only used 33gr Topaz for 44ltrs, get the Grapefruit I reckon like others have mentioned.. Nice all the Same, I would probably not Bitter up to hard at the start next time and use a few later additions to see how it goes that way, prob do another SMASH that way.... I think it would be nice as a Flavour and Aroma addition.... I think there is another Hop that says not too use it to early in the boil as Grapefruit can dominate, maybe the same for this hop???/ :unsure:

Cheers. I'd probably up the late additions. The other hops you're thinking of I believe is Chinook...definite recommendations against heavy late hopping although I did a smash with my home grown stuff with bittering at 30 mins and other additions at 20, 15 and 5 and far out it was good.

Now, I need to get some more pics of recent beers up here...
