    OK, admit it...

    Believe it or not I am usually quite happy for friends/family to come round and drink my beers so I can free up a few bottles for the next batch/brewday! So yeah I guess I am still pretty keen

    "Dry Hop 0 Days"... What?

    Yeah its just a default number in beersmith if you dont enter a value, assume 7 days as the rest

    ASDA giving away free IPA

    Had it on tap last night actually, better than their last 'craft' effort DNA which I thought was cack. Quite piney/fruity and a good hop presence although not entirely convinced by the combination of flavours with those hops. I wouldn't rush out to buy any tbh but if you can get them free......

    Hopping rates for aipa

    Remember that ratio is an average though and it wont be uncommon for many AIPAs to exceed that up to and beyond 1 in some cases. That said 180g in 23L should be enough to get you to a pretty decent level of hoppyness and its in the right ballpark overall looking at a few recipes I have done. I...

    How does this APA recipe look?

    That a fairly decent whack of hops already so I would probably do the first option myself but if you want BIG hop profile go for extra overall

    How does this APA recipe look?

    Not tried(tasted) mosaic and ahtanum together yet (both are in the session IPA I made yesterday though) but judging on the smell alone I would agree the mosaic will probably be quite dominant, the pack I opened yesterday was funky as they come! Ahtanum seems much milder. Your grain bill is going...

    The Dudes Brewday

    Fancied getting some big hoppy IPAs on the go over the weekend so had a bash at the original recipe punk IPA and then did this brew yesterday, its inspired by Fourpures Session IPA which is a lovely drop (on tap at least not so convinced by the cans). Trying out some Wyeast 1272 in this one to...

    Cardinal hops from geterbrewd

    The taste mellowed quite a bit with this one over time, I used it with a bit of wolf earlier in the boil and to me anyway it gave a very strong strawberry aroma and taste. Some other people who tried it got the strawberry aroma but not the flavour and others didn't get strawberry at all! One of...

    US05 yeast

    Will certainly help! If I manage to leave beers alone for months rather than weeks then US05 will normally get pretty clear, it just seems to remain quite powdery for a long time in most of my brews. If you're storing cooler as well then thats going to speed up the clearing process as well. This...

    US05 yeast

    I do get a bit fed up with US05 taking an age to drop clear and it never seems to stick at the bottom for me so very easy to stir up when pouring, I have used notty in several hoppy beers and if it does mute the hops its not to the point where I would rule it out completely as an option. That...

    Quick, Easy, Summery Brew - HELP ME!

    Interesting! So you just throw it in at normal fermenting temp and it still does the job? Everything I had read suggested it needed chilling first, will be very happy if thats not the case!

    Notlaw's Brewday - Redneck American Amber Ale

    It's pretty good thanks, a bit more conditioning for the flavours to really blend I think but a nice mix of resin tropical fruit and toffee maltiness at the moment. Mine is also a bit dark, could have dropped the little bit of roast barley I reckon

    Quick, Easy, Summery Brew - HELP ME!

    Sounds good, should give you a nice citrusy wheat. A little coriander seed in late could work well too, been looking at Blue Moon recipes recently and this is used with the orange peel for that beer

    Quick, Easy, Summery Brew - HELP ME!

    Use a standard ale yeast if you want a cleaner 'American style' wheat beer, better if you want the fruity hops to be more prominent. Go for a proper wheat yeast if you want the more European wheat beer taste with the banana/bubblegum/spice esters more prominent

    Quick, Easy, Summery Brew - HELP ME!

    Wasn't around for long enough! It was getting there but my missus (with a little help from me) smashed through the stock in about 2 weeks :lol: Was a great brew :mrgreen:
