1.942 Og that should get us to 400% abv!

 

[The Baron]

I did spot that Pennine but decided not to pull him up as he needs the rest
Ps hops ordered Clint From CML

Yeah..my bad...but if you like!
I fixed it..just incase.

 

[Clint]

I think increasing the hopstand wouldn't harm it one bit. I'm planning an early brew tomorrow it's either APA OR Tribute..if I do Tribute I'll increase the hopstand.

 

[The Baron]

Increase in Hop amount or time or both?

 

[Pennine]

Ahh I thought you had a pint of your tribute and that is why you couldnt get off the couch!

I have had your tribute edition before and it was very good, I would recommend this recipe.

 

[Clint]

Increase in Hop amount or time or both?

I think I'd keep the timing but double the amount..but then I'm only learning.

 

[Sandimas]

I can't believe they put zest in it. It's a mass-produced beer with huge volumes, I would have thought they use the simplest method possible.

More subtle British ales are hard for the homebrewer to replicate. Hop-forward beers like Proper Job are much easier to clone, I've done PJ a few times and compared it directly with PJ from a St Austell pub down the road when on holiday, and can't tell the difference. However Tribute is much harder to get spot on, I must have brewed a clone 6 times and it's still not there. I agree with @Clint and may up the Willamette next time.

 

[The Baron]

Yeah I thought it was going to come from the Williamette being a American hop but when I read the descriptors it is a son/daughter of Fuggles and did say it was earthy and spicy that what made me question it before brewing but it sounds like it does come from the Williamette so I will do as Clint has said and up it when I brew mine

 

[clive007]

Tribute on cask is really nice and more hop forward (at least, I would guess it hops)... completely different to the supermarket stuff which I'm not a fan of and find cloying

I quite agree, the super market stuff gives the cask ale a bad name.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

So it's the hops that give it the citrus finish then but I still can not figure it out as they are not known for their orange citrus finish thats what threw me

Styrian will give it a citrus finish, I used it in very small quantities in a Greg wheeler pale ale, (late boil) and I think you pick it up quite a bit.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Just added some Styrian G to my whirlpool.

 

[The Baron]

I am going to do Clint's with a larger whirlpool of Styrian and Williamette

I haven't been able to find Tribute here, only Proper Job. I recall that I really liked Tribute, but can't remember what it tasted like. Proper Job, on the other hand, is only fit for harvesting the yeast.

I can't understand your dislike of Proper Job, and can only assume it has been mishandled on its trip across Brittany to get to you. It is a lovely drink.

Agreed Proper Job is a fantastic beer as are most West Country beers.
