This Nelson Sauvin ale is going down nicely

:icon_drool2:

Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Galaxy, Cascade - this is giving me an idea - oh hang on, I've already done that.

Actually I'm finding that as much as I love NS, Citra, Galaxy and Cascade seem to work better without it, but Nelson & Citra without any other ring-ins is fantastic.

Not sure about anyone else, but I've just reduced the body of my APA by around .005 gravity points (at OG) for the warmer weather (I have a headache, so a storm is around), and it's a wonderfully refreshing bitter APA.

Only an hour to go (and a bit).
 
Do you have a recipe with the grain bill for that? Looks amazing, and i love the colour

Cheers. Here you go, Stef-
The wheat gives a nice crisp end, drop it if you don't like wheat in your Pale Ales. The IBU's are not this high either. I'm tipping it at about 40.

Sweet, looks the goods! This ones on the list.

Thanks mate!
 
May I give a tip or 2:

1. Citra in there as well (especially at 10 minutes & dry hopped);
2. Briess Red Wheat Malt (keeps the colour and isn't quite as cloudy as the regular white wheat) and the flavour :icon_drool2:

Goomba

I'll take all the tips i can get!
 
Where abouts did you get the Falconers Flight from? Thats the first time i'd heard of them... quick google and now i'm keen to give them a whirl...

Craftbrewer my good man. It's definitely a great blend. Use lots late, and dry hop at no less than 2g/L and you're on a winner I reckon.
 
Gav80... I see in your signature that you're drinking a 10min Riwaka IPA... How's that go mate? I bet it's delicious... :icon_drool2: I love Riwaka...
