I'm a stay at home Dad/part time Consultant based in the Cotswolds who decided to try home brewing beer about 3 years ago following spending an extended time in the USA and discovering some great American Ales I wanted to drink at home. Well one kit, then a handful of extract brews followed...

I recently brewed this APA which is roughly based on a recipe from Brew UK. It uses Cascade and Nelson Sauvin Hops plus Nelson Sauvin Hop Oil. It is Tripple Hopped (Hops in the boil, dry hopped and hop oil) hence the name 'Trip Hop' So if you like a well hopped APA then give this one a go, you...

I have an Igloo MAxcool as a MashTun and wanted to know if I should add a thermowell/temp gauge to it or just use a thermometer at the start and end of the mash? If I should add a thermowell, whats the best way to do it with an Igloo Tun?
