Citra Smash, 3 weeks in the bottle, still no carbonation (something definitely went wrong with the coopers carbonation drops)
Initially I was put off by the dankness of the citra hops but there is something seriously captivating about this brew a few weeks in. I would be adding way more bittering addition compared to the original recipe, this is a very powerful hop, way more than the likes of cascade or even mosaic, especially in the quantities I used for whirlpool/steeping.
BJCP style guide - IPA, 5.5+%
Style comparisons - War Hog
Would 100% brew again

Cascade/Mosaic pale ale - easily one of the best combos I've tried, I need to pull up beer smith but I think I used magnum for bittering and a little DME in this brew.
Excellent combo, this would be my go to pale ale hop combo

Being absolutely tanked off homebrew and listening to MTV Unplugged Nirvana from 1993 is pretty awesome, highly recommend
I used to love Bleach when I was a youngster
Cascade is good with everything. Looks delicious
Weird. I doubt it was a sugar level issue although you’re not the first person to have issues after using the drops. Is it possible the caps aren’t sealed?
Probably a good time to do it.Has genuinely not returned or logged in.
He quit pre-Gaffgate didnt he?
Yep Friday night over the state of the AFL. Checked in briefly Saturday morning. I like that at least when one of us decides to step away it gets announced to our beer brethren and everyone else can gagf
What did you end up ordering?
The orders haven’t gone in yet - we basically put in what we want in 1kg lots, and if they reach the 5 kg quota for each hop variety, then it’s locked in.
There’s a deadline for putting in your nominal orders, and if any of the hop varieties haven’t reached the 5kg quota, then I guess they’ll ask us to pick another variety so they can reach the quota.
I chose Chinook, Citra and Motueka but the Motueka still needs another 2 kg until it reaches the required amount.
Might have to choose another American hop that is closer to 5kg. Maybe Amarillo.
My 40th went off well. Much homebrew consumed by all.
Ended up with 3 gift cards for Brewmart totaling $650. Pretty certain I will put them to good use and get an SS Brewtech Chronical!

I need to make bigger batches of this stuff - mosaic/cascade pale again.
Best enjoyed in large quantities

Well I'm inspired
Bottling the Milkshake IPA and Grapefruit IPA this week and then:
Brews for August coming up
Founders Breakfast Stout clone (this week) having to readjust the recipe to keep it under 6.5%
Next Week
Depends on what stands out at the Beerfest on Friday, most likely something Sierra Nevada, Alesmith, Evil Twin
White stout eh?
What do you use as fermenters again? Little glass demijohns?
Thinking of doing a small batch scotch ale with this Russian caravan tea a colleague gave me. It’s a smoky black tea. Was thinking super malty red low attenuation and use the tea as a dry hop
Looks like you have the same hop spider. It’s too fine I reckon but I run my recirc outlet directly into it in my robo while I’m boiling - tends to get the wort flowing through the hops a little better.
What’s your AC IPA recipe?
I’d love to try one of those but my ferm fridge is way too small to fit the stand in. Happy birthday btw
I moved over to 2 25L bunnings fermenters and a 30L CoopersWhite stout eh?

Oh right. I have a 15L but I’d like a 10
