Rob Courtney Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 New brewprint 6.5% hopped with Cascade and Amarillo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Armstrong Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Very keen to hear the outcome. Modelled on Brewdog punk IPA. Hoppy beer, going to get stuck into it within a few weeks to keep it fresh? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yep got this on order. Liam is a big IPA fan, not so much the commercial department. Good to see another IPA added to the prints. Interesting hop combination, Cascade and Armarilo, West coast style. Say I will need to double hop this. As it might be a bit light on for a real IPA taste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyBlueEyes Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Tried one tonight after 15 days in the bottle. I understand that's the bare minimum, but the hops weren't all that powerful, certainly wouldn't call it a 'riot on the senses'. Was nice enough though, can't wait to come back to it in a few weeks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Micky, and welcome to the community! Glad to hear a report on the Mongrel. Robert mentioned that he thought the recipe might be a bit light on hops, and it seems you've confirmed it. He mentioned having Mongrel on order and anticipated double hopping. It'll be interesting to get his follow-up comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyBlueEyes Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Another bottle tonight, (this is my only drinkable brew at the moment). Bitterness is definitely there but it's missing the full bodied taste. I'm sure that'll come together in a few weeks.. if it lasts that long.. Lucky I found a cheap second droid that Cash Converters seriously undervalued! Time to hit the brewing and build stock. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd give it another 3 to 4 weeks before getting too critical ( I mean you can then), most Brewprints need close to 8 weeks to show their true colours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thagomizer Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Andrew, Welcome to the forum. By now, you have probably added the dry hops and closed the lid. You haven't identified your recipe, but the surface of your droid's content looks fairly normal. I assume that the aroma was normally beery. If you have any specific questions (and there are no dumb questions) please do not hesitate to ask. We are all amateur brewers, but some of us are very knowledgeable about BrewArt brewing, and we are eager to help you as best we can. Also, I suggest that you explore the numerous threads and forums on this site to pick up tips from the experience of others. This is a rich source of brewing information as well as a lot of cheerful banter. 🙂 Happy brewing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started here back on the first of the year, I found myself browsing through all the archived threads, sometimes looking for some specific bit of info, but more often just sort of exploring. I picked up a lot of useful tips, and was thoroughly entertained in the process! Sláinte! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Simma Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Bottled the Mongrel yesterday. smelt amazing and taste test was really nice. A bit like brekkie juice ipas I have had before. My first brew so hopefully haven’t stuffed the bottling. Pretty sure I double dosed one bottle.

Mick Steele Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I've made the Mongrel a couple of times and would class it as my favourite Brewprint to date. I'm inadvertently experimenting with one at the moment. I have a few brewprints lying around and have put the yeast and hops in the fridge for safe keeping. I thought I had opened the Belgian Lager kit, so went to the fridge and got the yeast for that kit, then added the other ingredients. Turns out I have opened the wrong kit, so now have a Mongrel on the go, but with Lager yeast. I'm planning on using the Mongrel dry hops, plus some Mosiac and Galaxy to flesh it out, so will be interested on how it turns out with a Lager Yeast. I'll report back with the outcome in a month or two. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now for the really hard part; not drinking it all up before it's had a chance to mature some. I have no doubt that Mongrel is really going to benefit from some time in the bottle. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a little too long pondering how small that glass was because I thought the bottle was 330mls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Simma Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 500ml bottles. Only 1 carb drop which I think may not have been enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
