I think keezers and kegerators are all great things
As long as the beer pours well thats what counts

Is that a beer engine next to your toilet did it cost a lot to renovate the beer engine

 

[pjbiker]

It did actually as it turned out to be more worn than I expected and haf to replace piston and glass cylinder with parts from angram but you can pick up used working ones on ebay for 30-40quid. Oh I had to buy a check valve for 22 quid and some john guest fittings.

I keep trying to make golden and hoppy ales but am struggling with the 'hoppy'. I'd love it to be like punk ipa.

I have not done too many overly hopped beers due to the price of the hops i have just done an ipa which had 100 grams in which is enough for me.
Maybe francis could advise you a bit more on that

I have not tried my punk ipa yet I had literally transferred it from bucket to keg a couple days ago. It has been dry hopping now for 3 days so we will see how it tastes soonish.

Abv was supposed to be 5.6% but turned out 6.1 which is due to me being very new to all grain and not calculating properly I guess but I'm sure it will turn out ok

5.3kg Maris Otter

10g Chinook @90
29g Ahtanum @15
15g Nelson Sauvin @15
15g Simcoe @10

Safale US-05 yeast

30g Chinook, 30g Nelson, 30g Simcoe - dry hop for 5 days

I am on my second brew of punk ipa..been very very pleased with it..i couldnt get ahtanum hops anywhere so i usbbed for amarillo..where did you get yours ??
