But. Seems it was a no-boil recipe (an "ale" not a "beer")? Perhaps Mashbag will make some for us?

Re: No boil cascade...
I am of the opinion (and experience) that fining and filtering remove flavour and character from beverages. The question is does boiling also do this.
Further, just 'cos the breweries do it that way we must too. They often make decisions based on cost or markets or profit. Sometimes flavour is not paramount.
I also think there is a huge ammount of shiney shiney that the Internet will sell you, that we don't need to make stunning beer.
But that is a bit rich coming from a BM owner
So yes, I am experimenting with noboil at the moment.
The results of the first attempt will be in soon.
I doubt it will be the last. The process (if it delivers the flavour) is spectacularly simple. And the taste is on point (for the stage its at)
I am using a known recipe, no other change.
Hopping with the mash and @ 80c.
Yeasted with Nottingham.
Let's see what happens.
At worst it will make a mediocre beer that I can correct before bottling. At best it could be quite delicious.

Well?......
Re: No boil cascade...
Hmm. Where to start.
It is OK. Certainly not any quicker, really than my 45 min boil. Because you end up messing about with hop tea that doesn't quite hit the mark.
Unsurprisingly cloudy.
Unsurprisingly lacking bitterness.
But some rich deep flavours of biscuits and citrus.
The fermentation is quite different and protracted. And the skimmings make smashing loafs.
I think bottle conditioning will improve it. Only tried it warm so far (as tastings).
Cooler and carbonated, hot summer evenings.
No boil = no protein break = foamy as Hamish McFoamy on foamy day. This will have a head like Marge Simpson.
Will I do it again. Probably not. But I reserve the right to change my mind. Mainly because my house cascade really is what I like drinking.
That said. Summer drink tick. Base for a low alcohol recipe - Bob on. Fruity ladies beer, you bet.
There is something here definitely to develop, I just don't want too. Very pleased I tried it.
