You're not messing around with that one, eh Steve? 'Phat', as I believe the youngsters would say, if it was still 1998.

There's a reason you're running out of hops: it's because you use insane amounts of them in each brew.

[Clibit]

I wouldn't say 200g in 23 litres of IPA was insane. The IBUs are pretty mad but that's a lot to do with the 80g at 15 minutes I think.

It smelt nice haha , Now the waiting begins !

I reckon I would like it. IBUs don't frighten me.

[GarethHW]

I read it as 60g each at the end. Which would be getting into brew dog territory.

I like a hefty bitter clout too. Problem is that a lot of people don't, and will see it as a flaw in the beer rather than intended of the style.

Not that that will bother you Steve, I'm sure.

Bitterness is a bit like spicyness. Your first mouthful you're like 'woah' then it becomes addictive

Jesus H Corbett..! That's as bitter as a lot of Sunderland fans will be at around 3.20 this afternoon... Hopefully. I haven't knowingly had summit, but I do like Citra. Hefty abv too... I'd smash a couple down my neck.

It's gone all HBF on here.
