Mine is a bit darker. Mine's aroma is more alcohol than hops (7.5% ABV) I only managed to bottle mine on the weekend due to slow ferment (my first stall) and a few trips away during Oct. Ended up at 1010 and 7.47%. After nearly a whole month in the FV, bottle tasting notes were very alcoholic and almost "fruit winey". I do hope some age helps it out.

I did think though that it was a taste that given time could mellow nicely, but still retain some kick. Cheers Shamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well my Kilowog Krush has been on tap for about 20days and it is a NEIPA. It tastes like one and smells like one, but on the sessionable side. Good beer with lots of aroma and flavours. My beersmith 3 settings are out and I am sure the IBUS are above 30. I miss beersmith 2. Anyways, nice beer, too bitter for my wife so this keg will be all me unless I have a poker night. When I try this again I will drop the 60 min addition and go from 15 min down. Drop the dextrose and sub in some malt and make sure the ibus are around 25. I will switch the yeast to joystick by imperial. I will also reduce the dry hop to where I was originally planning, between 125g and 150g instead of the 204g I tossed in. I am not saying it was too much but I think I can get the same aroma and flavour with less...I hope. Now just waiting on my lager attempt. Good brewing Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Second crack at my brown ale. 1 week after the first glass. This has cleared nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 This is my latest NEIPA. Damn it's tasty. Malt bill included Coopers Ale malt, Vienna and lots of flaked oats. Galaxy , Mosaic and Vic Secret were used in copious quantities at whirlpool , first and second dry hop. Wyeast London ale 3 performed it's magic on the wort perfectly. For a 7% ABV beer this is just so stupidly drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudy, great aroma, heaps of passionfruit. Nice bitterness, great mouthfeel. Very good bright hop flavour, minimal malt influence. Really good beer. I would be happy to be served that at a bar. Top stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 @Ben 10 Thank you Ben! That means a lot. When I make a beer if my wife doesnt like it, it leaves me wondering how good it is! My friends dont like anything with too much bitterness also, so again I am always left wondering if it is any good. Man, I cannot tell you how happy you made me! My confidence is back.

Looks like your camera has focusing issues, background is sharp but the glass itself is OOF. Same problem I have with my phone's cam (a Samsung S5). For that reason I use a 'proper' camera instead!

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 My phone does that too unless I click on the picture itself where I want it to focus. I do have a proper camera too though, should probably start using it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Yeah I have a Samsung and I forget to tap the photo to get it to focus, looks clear at first then the focus goes out. My wife has a nice camera that I have no idea how to use. I will work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I tap on the image for focusing with my Samsung but the stupid thing still hunts for focus and 9 times out of 10 still settles on a background object! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I find they distort the shape of the beer glass as well unless you take the photo square on to the glass, like if you take it from above it makes the glass look like a gym junkie who keeps forgetting leg day.

Fair bit cheaper than Citra as a bonus as well 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
