My citra, cascade & centennial IPA is nice and has a smoother bitterness but the one with admiral, brambling cross, citra, cascade has a much more up front aroma.

This admiral, brambling cross, cascade & citra IPA is starting to improve. It looks a lot darker in the photo.

First try of my tropical Stout one week in keg. Head retention non existent and need to up the carbonation. Hope it gets better 🤞

Not sure if you bottle or keg ? I had this on a bitter that I kegged and over carbed with too much co2. The keg had a metallic taste that I couldn't shift, but the extra bottles were fine

You got a link to the one you have ?I was thinking about one but wasn't sure if it was worth it.

Best place for them. I can dry freshly cut wood in 1 month in glass greenhouse during summer and a few months extra during the autumn/winter. I was actually splitting logs today

It was CML the firm. Shouldn't be incorrect mash temp as I done a 2 point calibration on the boiler before brewing

Mine has been in fermenter for 4 days. Started at 1.061 and now at 1.008 !! Will try it before sending as it had over attenuated and bit sure what it will turn out like😃

Im on the middle of freezing diced apples and making apple chutney. Everyone complaining about the smell of vinegar. 🤣🤣

Yes. That is a modest number. Slugs lay between 20-100 eggs several times a year, so 20 is on the low side. They tend to come out in colder, wetter weather but do hibernate below temperatures of 5°C. I work in a large garden open to the public and we would treat the soil with nematodes early in...

They are cranberry sized berries. Red skin with pale cream flesh. They taste a cross between strawberry, kiwi, slightly nutty and candy floss. The aroma is beautiful like candy floss and strawberry. Great to eat as a snack or my wife likes gin liqueur made with them.

My rhubarb hasn't stopped all year. The strawberries were brilliant. The Chilean guava bushes are looking full as usual this year too. Another month or so and they will be ready.

What was everyone's harvest like this year. I've had a bumper year this year and have diced and frozen loads, dried loads and intend to make chutneys tomorrow night.

A different IPA with English/American hops. Prefer the other one

A first try of my wcipa with all American c hops whilst making rhubarb jam

I cut mine to length and had currently got a stout on there for the next 10 days. Will see if that improves the situation with a gentle bit of tilting as well I did notice that the metal ring that the handles are attached to had started to rust quite badly after only one use. Anyone else had...

No sorry the malt pipe is gone. Will update the original post now.

Yeah it doesn't seem to be holding back !!

I've had similar the last 3 but never really worried about them. On Friday past I kegged an AIPA with verdant that over attenuated to 1.008 and another one with bry-97 that over attenuated to 1.007. Both were hit that after 2-3 days. I done a stout on Sunday. Pitched CML The Firm yeast...

Yes have used it and it needs to be put onto soil so wouldn't work on any hard standing. It also needs to be applied when temperatures are above 5°C. It also needs to be reapplied fairly regularly and is quite expensive.
