Hairy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Looks good Yob. There is a fair combination of hops in it. Let us know how it turns out. Is the brigalow yeast only worth using as a nutrient? Actually I know the answer to that one. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 precicely Hairy... I like to get my yeasties off and cracking with a good dose of nutrient and simple sugars.. I guess now that Im running out of kit yeasts I should think about buying some nutrient... Effed if I even know where the Briglow yeasts come from even[alien] probably been in the fridge for a few years[lol] OG of this was 1048, chilling now and will pitch tonight.. will get back to this topic in a month and a half I guess... when Im sitting in the pool looking at my hop plants and thinking to myself just how much I love hops[love] Yob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 well it's down to 1024 (new packet of yeast so it's a bit slower than usual)and the taste from the sample was most promising..[love] im sure almost completely unlike any 'blonde' ever made [lol] I still think I might dry hop it with some citra which would make 6 hop additions with whatever was in the can.. too much? [ninja] bloody doubt it 20g Citra and 10g Galaxy should do it. I will have 4 other brews to get through before I get to this one so a heavy hop schedule should help with the age it will get methinks.

Guest Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 drinking one of these now... to be honest It could have done with some more flavour... and aroma... really surprised by how mild the flavours are in this one.. geez... what ya gotta do[crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You must be immune to it now. Its like eating hot spicy food. You start to build a tolerance to it. You may as well just quit brewing now and just become a yeast lab technician [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Im hoping that it's just not ready yet and the hops will shine through in a week or so... which is about how long it's got till I will be drinking it... With any luck I will have some fresh chinook flowers which I fully intend to cram into a pint glass and guzzle a few like that. @ Hairy - You should see how much hot english mustard I put on my egg and bacons [lol] edit: looking back on it, it only has 50g in it [crying] Ive just finished drinking an AG batch with 120g(+?) and was frikkin awesome....
