Such a bloody nice beer. Might brew one early next year for the winter months

Good to see a benefit from the "paranoid public" campaigns. I realy like the hop combination in this beer, and with a little push on the roastiness, it would be a cracker. Thanks for posting Wiggman.

I've only ever had this from the tap at Freo and I don't know if there's any difference in taste to the stubbie.

I put tweaked version of Screwy's down, 1/2 the batch kegged and the other 1/2 bottled.

The kegged beer has a lot more flavor and aroma and I found the bottled 1/2 lacking.

The only difference is that the keg was conditioning in the fridge and the bottles were in the garage at around 20c.

Would that be enough to impact the flavor that much?

This is my first attempt at a WRDA clone 36 hours in. Just happened to check it at 5 this morning before work and the airlock had clogged with yeast and krausen everywhere. Yeast is second gen WLP023

Put my WRDA attempt on gas this afternoon. It's already drinking great and I suspect is a little bit too hop forward compared to the original. I'm going to do a side by side next weekend. FWIW here is my recipe. I BIAB, no chill and do a 20m whirlpool before cubing. The 'aroma' hops are in the cube:
