Hi all

Brewed this last nite, the only changes was with the hops. As I was not happy with my amarillo, they where still vacuumed seals but had a off yellow colour to them, so I added additional Cascades to compensate for this.

Pale ale malt 4.35 kg (69%)

There was around 15 cm or 6 inches or more of hops in the bottom of the boiler and it’s a ten gallon one!

Here is a pic

Yea, but even hop will go off and i was afraid that it might be under hoped

Under hopped!

Nice work O
I'd be interested to know how this one turns out

Looks like it went well

Looking at the hop schedule, the longest boil they got was 20 mins?? Is that right?

yep, is about flavor and aroma, but you do need more hop to get a resalable bitterness

Kegged this up this morning final gravity 1.013

I'm interested to see how this goes too.

Are you getting much of a steer on the taste and aroma yet OB, or will this develop?
