Next up is a Nelson sauvin single hop IPA. Probably a bit unfair to have after the west coast IPA but this one falls under the "just alright' category.

My go to is a 24hr prove with a sourdough starter. This one however is with dried yeast, I’d given my starter a big feed earlier in the day to see it through the next two weeks and forgot to save some of the excess.
Sourdough is definitely tastier, but you can get close to the sourdough flavour with a pre-ferment and a long slow prove. Prolonging proving time seems equates to equate to improved flavour.
I’ve done both poolish and biga’s before and both worked very well. The biga is a bit of a hassle, it’s got a tendency to dry out as the hydration is so low, but poolish’s are dead easy.
Thanks for this I have had sour doughs in a few occassions but have ended up abandoning them for lack of use, must try again at some point. Have actually noticed a difference in how the dough feels and tastes when I have extended the proofing time so this makes a lot of sense).
 
Wanted to try this as I have a coconut stout fermenting at the minute. This is a really nice beer but I'm not detecting the coconut on the nose or in the taste. Maybe when it warms up a bit as it was put in the fridge.

After a suicidal day in work and then our quite new £600+ washing machine leaking profusely (I've checked inlet,outlet,door seal,filter..blah blah blah) flooding the kitchen very nicely THEN...going on LG website and not finding my product I registered in February but luckily had my ereceipt so could endure getting kicked off their site half a dozen times before finally getting it sorted and requesting repair..Christ only knows when that will be..although if its a silly time off the thing will be carted to Currys and dumped in amongst the TV's...I kid you not..which will lead to a fracas and me getting kicked out.
Oh...back on subject....I need a beer!
