What was your hop schedule? What flavours you get coming through? Got some Zythos i need to get through, my latest attempt at an APA with 50/50 zythos and summit was destroyed by the summit.

It was created to help address the shortages of Amarillo, Citra, SImcoe. Palisade. Def some columbus in there, maybe a small amount of chinook?
I started hop additions at 20 minutes. So I did 20,10,0 (to 35 ibu) then dry hopped 100g for 4 days in 42L of beer. I made the ale with nice malty malts like marris otter, munich,vienna and caramunich 3.I used 10% wheat and got a fantastic body to the beer. Fermented with 1272.

I dont think there is chinook in there but I really get the apricots and a bit of passionfruit stonefruit sort of thing going on. It a rad combo what ever it is. I might try my own combo next time. Cascade,citra,simcoe,columbus,saaz b, or something like that. I love brewing :)

BenKen25,

That R&D on the shelving in the background looks sweet. All the LC single batches, the Holgate range, the sierra nevada and bunch of other awesome beers you have tried.

Hope that mild pictured is up there with the best!

Where's the red coming from mate?

My last mild was more of a brown and would love to replicate that red if possible.

Cheers.

Need to do a big IPA with this stuff!
 
Well, i was enjoying my first AG APA.. as i was pouring, i heard the sad spurting of an empty keg :(

The excess head was from the turbulence created by CO2 rushing out of the tap instead of flavoursome beer!

EDIT: Sideways photo will be replaced..

EDIT 2: Trying photo..
