Great Eastern Summer Ale

[apache]

I started this last night using Malvern Spring water from my local spring. I enjoy a pale with a slightly citrus edge to it. As a newbie who knows nothing about the intricacies of subtle alteration of flavour, what would the more experienced recommend?

Would I be on the right track suggesting dry hopping with something like http://www.barleybottom.com/menu/product/&ID=123 or is that crazy talk?

Never done it myself, but crawling around t'intrawebs, loads of people have done it with rather promising results.

I say go for it, let us know how it turns out then I'll order some Bobek myself. I keep putting off brewing a Summer Ale until we actually get some summer.

You missed it! It happened in April. Rain now until october, then snow!

There have been two great weekends this year - one in March, one in April. I was away on holiday for both, and was whingeing to Mrs LE that I should have been at home brewing. She thinks I've not got my priorities right, but we know differently.

Been lovely round here for months. But then, being part eskimo I have low expectations.
