We are mashing at 55º at the moment and just about to raise it to 66º in the next 5 mins then crack open a few home brews to keep us going

[WishboneBrewery]

Mad for it... ha ha

[GARYSMIFF]

Mad yes, Summer drinking Yes.
My biggest critic (My Father) Is not going to know what has hit him when this is ready as its very off piste to what he drinks but he has seen the light with my other AG brews and will appreciate everything about this beer especially as he had a hand in todays brew session.

I must say the compost bin this afternoon smelt good when I came to clean up

[GARYSMIFF]

drinking this warm and not very fizzy and its very good , just got another wheat next to it and mine wins, thicker more going on and Grapefruit is a great addition or is it the Bobeck?

cant wait to stick this in the kegerator, when its free or in my Carbonator Pet Bottles, unlike Runwell steve I dont have 11 cornies

[Kev888]

Exciting stuff - nice to see such interesting things going on! Flicking down through the pics it looks almost what I associate with pancakes, which can't be bad..

To my shame though, I'd assumed that 'in the shed' was the same old thread and haven't been re-visiting it - I'll have to look back through all the different episodes to see what i was missing out on

cheers

Certainly been knocking out the brews lately Gary.

[GARYSMIFF]

Dennis, been Drinking them to, need to brew more, and drink more ( less) I said to Steve in Rwl we should do a brew off, you intrested even if its just pictures, thought we could all brew the same(ish) and see how it turns out, like a fuggles only or a set of ingredients, just for the South East brewers!. shame we dont have a JBK chat room.

[Dennis King]

Have been think how to arrange a meet of some sort of us Essex boys. Did meet Prolix at another forum get together and we both said it was something worth doing. To be honest its been a bit on the backburner as my wifes been having serious medical tests which I'm glad to say is now not life threatening as 1st thought so will now be up for something.

[Gricey]

Love it!

sorry buddy like to keep the thread the same so I can use it as a reminder lol, just the date and name changes, the beer is always always off the wall.

[Laripu]

Gary, nice recipe. It looks like something I'd do myself. Are you absolutely sure you're not an American?

Can you describe the taste for those of us that must enjoy it vicariously?

[GARYSMIFF]

not interested in the aroma, colour or head retention then!!!! lol

it is a Medium mouth feel with a lite carbonation

Grapefruit tang along with a sweet banana hit that dries to its finish with a small hint of apricot.

Oh yea and Cold


needs more grapefruit / Bobeck and Coriander Seeds

[GARYSMIFF]

Have to post that its all gone

So lets do it again with more grapefruit / Bobeck and Coriander Seeds or even some Limes
