I still have bottles available if anyone needs some...

Thanks guys,

I have used the Real Ale kit a little, and I am happy with it as it turns out a nice ale, but it is too bitter and particular for many uses. My very first beer used real ale, dex, then some goldings boiled and chucked in, then some cascade later in dry hop. It was all added as I ...

no

Have just found out that it contains 4% shiraz... so in a 21L batch you are talking about 800ml...

Might have to try this I think...

yes I am Mr McEnroe...

Didnt realise I should have tasted with your tastbuds...

I love this beer, its currently my favourite...

Now how would I go about making an extract version of this?? I thinks its an APA plus a touch of Shiraz/grape juice as per the bottle....

The APA bit I can handle, but its the adding of Shiraz/grape juice that is hard to think about...

Anyone have ...

how many do you want...

have already promised some to a friend...

For a bit of a "throw-together-at-the-last-minute" I hope it is good...

used US-05..

I had some left over cluster (20g or so)so threw that in for 20 mins, threw about 20g Amarillo for 10 mins and about 10-15g cascade at about 5...

Bit of a mish-mash this one, using left over's..

Oh, and steeped 100g dark crystal...


I hope its better.. I like em bitter and hoppy!

oooohhh, I love IPA's...

Never thought about it...


So 100g, and some extra malt/sugar and some more hops to bitter it up and we have an APA/IPA hybrid????

I have some dark cystal, some Cascade and Amarillo hops left over and have just bought a 3kg ESB APA kit (Dont have much time on the weekend)

Would steeping 100g of the dark crystal and adding some extra cascade (assuming that is what the kit contains) and amarillo improve this do you think??

I havent done it myself, but I saw it done on Merrick and Rosso's TV show a few years ago...

Merrick drunk it too and it was like it went off immediately from memory..
further thinking on that... what's the pH of carbonic acid? might be acidic enough to curdle the milk... fizzy cheese! :lol:
Now ...

another few reason not to try it.. Or a few reasons TO try it.. Depending on whether the wife is at home or not!!

dont put milk in a soda stream... It'll explode/make a hell of a mess!!

Whilst on the LCPA topic, has anyone tried an all extract, I am toying around with it ATM

Make sure you keep us up to date with how it goes. I would love to try formulating the recipe, but having only done 2 extract beers, I wouldn't know where to start.

For my own knowledge may I ask why?

No I'm not... Using a partial boil using the formula provided in the other forum...
