Yes,
I have tried something similar here in Canada and it was way hopped, and I am a hop head lupomaniac.
Additionally it needed a yeast energizer to get going.
Finally, it needed an acidifier to get going also to so I am thinking they were having some issues with shelf life.
So, I said to myself (and I knew it was me cause I recognized the voice) Do it yourself, so there I was brewing from grains.
My first which by the way I am filtering tonight although it is pretty spotless and should be sucking back tomorrow (oh the joys of artificial carbonation).
Just in time to make another this weekend, an American Steam Beer, the recipe which follows
4 kilos pale malt
750 g of 40 Crystal Malt
1 oz Northern Brewer for 65 min
0.75 oz Northern Brewer for 20 min
1 oz Cascade for 1 min
500 ml of honey
I am thinking of using a Cream Ale yeast on this bad boy
As Mister Campbell Says
MMMMMM MMMMM Good.
