Another beery idea

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Mrs away last weekend of month so thinking of doing a brew the Friday and one the Saturday. Friday one sorted. English Ale. Was thinking this for the other. Thoughts??

Looks fine to me.

Looks good to me especially as Nelson sauvin is one of my favourite.

Will you be dry hopping with it as well or have you only got 100g.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Only got 100 leaf. But some some pellets in freezer from an earlier brew that I will lob in to dry hop with.

 

[clibit]

Looms great that, big man. :thumb:

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Sorted. That's my weekend brewing sorted.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Just using up some grains I had. Was going to do a green bullet ale. But not sure what it's like so thought I'd use the Nelson up instead.

 

[mike77]

Cool. Was going to suggest using something else for bittering to give you more nelson for late editions and dry hopping but it sounds like you've got it covered

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Got some green bullet or Pacific Jade or Pacific Gem ??

Looks great to me. There's a special flavour you get from Vienna/Munich (melanoidin?) which can work really well in IPAs.

 

[rodabod]

What's your OG by the way? This isn't too far off Thornbridge Kipling....

Not sure if I've had Kipling. Had a few of there's but not that I don't think.

 

[rodabod]

Keep an eye out for it. May be available in Waitrose. It'll be lighter in colour than this though, and possibly drier.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Will do. How do you make it drier. Not that I'm going to. Just don't know how you do it.

Will do. How do you make it drier. Not that I'm going to. Just don't know how you do it.

Oh, theirs isn't drier through attenuation, but just by the fact that their beer is closer to 100% pale malt so more fermentable and less malty. I think your recipe sounds great, so I'd go with it as is.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Yeah I will do. Not really made a beer of my own recipe yet ( Clibit usually tweaks it after I've asked numerous questions ). So see how it goes.

 

[clibit]

No tweaks I could think of this time. :geek:

I posted Kipling recipe ages ago. Like yonks, man. :hippy:

On a good day, on cask, with the wind in the right direction, Kipling is a superb beer. It's a good beer even on an average day. Mind you, I actually think Thornbridge beers have deteriorated alarmingly though. I wonder what's going on, is it just me? I recently had a bottle of Jaipur that was so bad I was stunned into silence while drinking it. If I'd made it, and my beer is nowt special, just decent home brewed AG beer, I'd have been rattled by how wrong I'd got it, and nobody else would ever have tasted it. Hopefully just a bad bottle, but how does a really rubbish bottle of beer happen in a high tech brewery?

 

[rodabod]

I've had a bad pint if Jaipur on cask, but generally I find their bottles excellent. Maybe you did get a bad one. I've become more aware of how freshness is important with beer (maybe this deserves a new thread). I had a half pint of Brewdog Born To Die yesterday and it was incredible for its hop freshness.

Anyway, might be worth having a listen to this podcast with Thornbridge:

All I know is I'm over half way through my dry month. And can't wait for a decent pint.
