Drinking a bottle of my Brewferm Grand Cru that i bottled in November. The harshness has gone now and it is maturing nicely, the malty flavour is coming through beautifully. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Not that expensive, works out 70p per bottle which is fine in my books 😊 I doubled up to keep the hop balance, plus they have the recommendation on the tins. To either add a tin of black rock extra light or for a bigger hit use anoth tin of the apa.

Nice krausen

I did not add anything extra, just the two cans and the two yeast. It is supposed to be heavily hopped with cascade, so will taste test it 2 weeks into fermentation. I may dry hop with extra cascade if it needs it.

Brewed short to 21 liters. OG 1.050 Target FG 1.012 (5.5% ABV)

Its got the creamiest smelling yeast i have come across yet. Not sure what brand it is

Making a 2 can American IPA tonight with two black rock cans.

85g is a good amount as that is what i use on my pressure barrels. It gives a nice head and has just the right carbonation. Certainly not flat and not too fizzy either. I know what you mean about bottles being over carbed as i find that now since using a pb, i prefer my own now.

Had a bottle of Old Tom earlier which lasted over an hour, really nice but strong. Now on a bottle of Shephards Neame 1698 which is not tasting all that good too be honest.

The question needs to be- why the f%€k?????? One for the knicker sniffing brigade methinks.

Which lhbs do you use and do they have a website?

Not that steep as the brewshop near me sells 100g of chinook, citra, nelson sauvon, simcoe to name a few at over £8 per 100g

My 15 minute boil american ipa, nice clean taste.

I do mainly extract so with a kit and dme (and yeast if i buy it) then cost is 60p per 500ml if i keg - based on ingredients costing £24. If i bottle then it costs 17p more as i buy 6 packs of spring water at 99p a pack, and dispose of the bottle afterwards. 77p is an acceptable price for me.
