Going to have to keep a close eye on the honey beer. Pitch at 1800 last night and there is already a thick foam and rapid bubbling!

Respect, your a braver man than i with the scotch bonnets. :smile:

It's certinally got a kick! Tried before bottling and it's hot but not quite madras or vindaloo territory. That was 50g of peppers for 5 days before bottling. If after a more subtle tickle I guess the weight could be halved. That said I don't know whether it will mellow after the 15 week condition.
 
Impressive your making me feel inadequate with my10.5%. :)

Brewing another BIPA with cold steeped dark grains. Wort is very smooth.

done with a single packet of mj's belgian ale yeast rehydrated :whistle:

seeing as i've beaten the belgians at their own game I think I can manage to step back down to 10% brews ;-)
 
Brewed a pale with golden promise, Munich, Vienna, oats, and two types of crystal.

El-dorado and Rakaku hops. All very late additions as you would expect.

Fermenting with Vermont ale from the yeast bay.

Hopeful for this one [emoji6]

Many many thanks for that! I'm close to getting 100 subscribers. Once I do, there will be some giveaways!
As much as I like you:smile: and have done several of your brews (great I must add), I don't fancy a w/e in Falkirk.:doh:
 
On tuesday (does that count) give me some slack, Im bottling my EKG SMASH, and dry hopping my Chinook Smash (thank Jabeerini), cos that one is ACE. Chinook seems to give me an orgasm which at my age is welcome! And on wednesday dry hopping my Broughtons IPA (Jeez, thanks again Jabeerni)..he plays TAMA drums as well...so as well as being a Jabeerini sort of fan club going on...errr thats it I guess.

Why don't you like Falkirk? It's great here! But in any case, you don't have to come, I'll post my giveaways so the winners will receive them as a beer mail (how cool is that huh?).
Cheers n' beers!

WOW! Many MANY MANY thanks for that Robin! It really means a lot to me when someone likes my brews.
That Chinook SMASH rocks and the Broughton's clone is one of my top brews (very proud of that one).
PS: those TAMA drums have been my dream since I was 15, every time I have a bad day, I just look at them, play a little and it's all sorted out heheh (I'm a simple guy).
 
brewed nowt but bottled my king kong yesterday.

12.86% :drunk:

will need a few months conditioning :lol:
12.86% WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT heheh! That's a BOMB.
It'd be great if you could post some pics and a review once it's done.
Cheers!

Poor English joke!:whistle:
 
Brewed my first AG yesterday. A Fullers ESB clone. Took pretty much all day. But this morning fermenting furiously in the new brewfridge...result..!
 
I'm brewing 50 litres of sweet stout today, I'm naming it "BY GOLLY! It's Good Stout" as reference to the old advertising slogan. :smile:
Aiming at 5.4%. It'll be ready for Xmas hopefully. :)
 
Today made an experimental prickly pear and sharon fruit amber ale, with:

1kg fruit added to mash, 1kg fruit added to boil.

First wort hop: fresh Challenger from the garden.

Bittering: Citra and Chinook

Aroma: Willamette, Motueka, Simcoe

Dry hopping -- will be Citra and Chinook again.

OG 1050
Belgian Saison yeast

Will also add another kg of fruit after 4 days. Never quite know what the right time is for adding fruit so doing it at several times.

Brewed a adnams ghost ship clone with left over dried malt I had before I started doing ag.
Did 2 mini kegs and 16 bottles of my red ipa hopped with motueka, amarillo and Nelson sauvin. Going to call it red man ipa, came out at 6.5%.
 
Today, I added a Coopers Stout kit to a slightly tweaked version of the Greg Hughes Brown Porter recipe that I like a lot. Total grain bill was 5kg and as the kit is quite bitter I used Challenger and Bramling Cross - 20g at 60 mins and 25g at 15 mins. Went long at 27L in the FV. This could be a "big" stout, I think. Maybe as much as 7%?
 
Doing a cascade IPA. Simple gris, just all my left over but should be fine. Mostly pale ale malt then 25% pilsner and then 10% cara pils. Using Nugget for bitterness and then cascade with a tad bit of Fuggles at 15 min. mark then a bunch of cascade at flameout. But I might just lower the wort to 80 degrees then add that addition. It seems to have a better taste that way.
 
Just mashing my November comp pale ale. Its my third pale and I didn't think to much of the other two, so just to make it interesting I'm using hops from three continents "Three corners pale ale".
