Do it Orlando. You won't regret it. Get 200g into a 23L - 25L brew. Small bittering addition, hefty 5 min, hefty flame out and a hefty dry hop.

You'll more than likely absolutely love it!

Quick question Floyd, as I've got this one firmly on the brew schedule...
What chilling method do you use? And how long does it take for you to chill?
Reason I ask is I'm beginning to wonder that since changing from no chill (aussie style in a jerrycan) to an immersion chiller things are probably same or less hoppy than before, despite the extreme amounts of hops. Sometime it takes bloody ages to chill, so I'm looking at what I can do on the cheap to try and get the most out of my little green friends.

Planning to build one of these... :shock:

That is a thing of beauty! I've always liked the idea of these chillers but don't have the 'know how' to build one.

I use a regular immersion chill and stir pretty much constantly as it's chilling down. Bit of a pain but I get 28L from 100c to 21c in around 20 - 25 mins usually.

Cheers Floyd, only challenge I have left is trying to make the bugger!
Seems you definitely chill quicker than I do, mine takes upwards of 30 mins, but then again the chiller I have currently is way too small.
Fingers crossed I can build this sucker. Beer Gods, watch over me! [-o<

This sounds like a great grain recipe...keen to do this but with different hops. Im thinking a little galaxy, Jade and NS..you reckon theyd go with that grain bill?

Hell yes!

Jade you say? Funnily enough, this recipe was inspired by Carafa Jade from Dark Star Brewery:

Nice one...yup im thinking of doing it simple with 1/3 each of Jade, NS and either galaxy or Southern Cross hop burst at 5 mins, 1 minute and steeped. Then dry hopped with the same ratios - total of say 300g.
My thinking with keeping it simply at 1/3 each is the AA are all roughly the same.
Any thoughts on what might be better out of Galxy or Southern Cross for this?

I've only knowingly tasted Galaxy so I can't say really. I reckon it is a safe bet though!

Finally getting round to this today...excited about this one. Modified the hops a little and swapped the caramalt for Crystal 150, but hoping its as good as I think it'll be.
