Prodigal, to spur you on, my brother has been staying for the last few days in the room next to the fermenter and has been saying "that beer smells amazing" :)

I'll keg it on/after the weekend and report on the first taste 8)
Cheers S-W I "may" have my hops waiting for me at the post office to be picked up tomorrow morning........darn no emotion for fingers crossed :wink:

Well prodigal, all I can say is I hope those hops arrived as you need to get this bad boy brewed asap! :D

8 days primary, 8 days in a corni and its already a banger. Really good lemony hop nose and flavour, spot-on bitterness and really delicious. Great bright yellow colour too which seems just right for the flavours. Possibly my favourite brew to date, I can see why Vossy is such a fan 8)

Definitely definitely going to do this one again. And again...

Glad you like it SW...it is a fab brew. I too will be making it again and again now I've got 2kg's of Styrains 8)

If you like the SS then definately try the Broadsword. Slightly more bitter (adjust to match SS if you like) but IMO the hop profile is better than the SS....a monster of a brew :wink:

Going to rotate these as my standard pale ales :wink:

Yes, my delivery made it :=P 250grms of the lovely hop to be precise.
And this will be my next brew 8)

thanks for posting a update, I really now want to concentrate on single hop brews to make myself aware of the flavour profiles. After a Stunner, I'm looking to do a all challenger brew(one of the ones of Norms Almanac).

16 days and its good, nice one SW :)
