Rob Courtney Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Have a certain affinity for this one, people like it or hate it but is a bloody nice ale after a days cricket. I'll usually neck two or three pints of this so... 2 E5 2 X2 y1 yeast Dry hop 25 gms Cashmere, 25 gms Wai-it would have liked to go 12.5gms of Taheke and Wai-ti but I live in a small country town and couldn't find any Taheke. Anyways, just dry hopped it so giddy up but I guess that means another 8 weeks until I get a real good idea on this one . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted 16 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Six weeks in so some sort of an idea now where it is going. I've had a couple of stubbies of this and really I thought it was a version of Hops sessed Ale which was a beer I was OK with but probably wouldn't go out of my way to brew again. I thought given it was young, I'd give it a few weeks to see where it was at...all the while hoping that wasn't the peak. It's actually really nice but it isn't the beer I was looking to make, it is kinda missing that real citrusy, maybe grapefruit taste that makes this a great beer to smash a couple of pints after a day of cricket with some bowls of hot chips and gravy and sometimes call the wife to walk down to the pub because 2 pints turned into 5 and a chicken Snitty burger and someone needs to take me and the car, home. I will have one tomorrow with a can of the original to really pinpoint what is missing in this one because I'd like to have an arsenal of this stuff to drink in summer. @BrewArt Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
