Had high hopes for the chinook ipa, as it's one of my favourite hops, and it doesn't disappoint.
Much bigger citrus aroma and the soft smooth finish I expect in a CW beer. Delicious.
acheers.

my neipa, one month in the bottle and its at its best so far. aroma and taste are all delivering now and the catty citra is gone. need to rethink drinking neipas too early. the low o2 craze seems a little overkill?

Had that a few weeks ago, lovely beer thumb
On a similar note I'm having the first taste of my dunkels bock and I'm really pleased with this, even more malty and toasty than my Munich dunkel. I can't see this batch lasting long.

I might have to try brewing one of two of these. Got any recipes you particularly like and happy to share!
 
This is the recipe for the Munich dunkel which is one of the best beers I've ever made:

Munich Dunkel

Grain: 5.1kg
Hops: 50g
OG: 1.055
FG: 1.020
ABV: 4.6%
Colour: 20SRM
Bitterness: 20IBU

Grain Bill
----------
3.0kg Munich I (59%)
2.0kg Munich II (39%)
0.1kg Carafa special II (2%)

Hop Bill
----------
35g Hallertau Mittelfruh @ 60 mins

The last of my single hop IPAs is the Sabro.
It's nice and I get the coconut coming through more in the flavour than when I brewed with it but there is a distinct herbal/minty aroma I'm not too sure about.

The chinook was my favourite by a country mile.

That actually looks like a pretty straight forward recipe (I always imagine you to be making really complex triple decocted obscure European beers for some reason :laugh8: ) I wonder what it would be like as a warm fermented/pseudo lager?

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a go.
 
I’m drinking Little Ox Dark and Seedy, purchased it as a 2L bottle and transferred to a 2L mini keg, it’s working quite well, am slightly low on conditioned home brew so have a case from Cloud Water coming this week to help tide me over.
 
Banbeer...behave myself...what have I been up to...?
At the moment,after a busy day of planting down the allotment,repotting at home and dog walking...I'm gravity feeding the last if the American stout out of the rubbish Wilko keg...flat as a spaniels ear but it tastes fine and I'll never waste it unless it's dreadful...
