Best of luck with the brew, not an ABV to be sneezed at!

 

[rickthebrew]

Thats my sort of brew :clap: I reckon those hops will work great - pacific gem is a real favourite of mine and i reckon it will work great with the nelson, keep us posted when you start drinking it as a punk ipa is near the top of my very long to brew list

 

[rickthebrew]

I`d probably go for US-O5 though - really works well with hoppy pales

 

[ni9e]

I can't get US-05 to clear and Brewdog use yeast similar to nottingham yeast thats why I picked it

 

[rickthebrew]

It can be a real pain - i`ve used it a few times, sometimes it clears and sometimes it doesn`t Good luck with the brew i`ll be watching with interest :thumb:

Mash on 08:15 weighing out hops ready and hoping the camera hurries up and charges :pray:

 

[rickthebrew]

:thumb: have a good one - pics would be great especially off all those hops
