Had another go at Thrappledouser this evening - don't have any dark crystal so I used crystal and a bit of black malt for colour. This is what I rustled up.

Hop Schedule:

Started around 6 - just finished cooling now around 11. Should be in bed by midnight!

This is obviously one of your personal favourites!

Partly that, and partly I'm just a stubborn git who'll keep trying till I get it right! Plus I haven't had a lot of time for brewing over the past while so when I put a brew on I like to be sure it'll be something I'll enjoy.

Hi,

Looks good! How do you like the pilgrim hops & where did you get them from?

I think BarleyBottom sell them.

I got them from the Thrifty Shopper back in the summer - just bought 50g - this is the first I've used them. I'll let you know how they taste.

Thanks for your replies...


Looking forward to hearing how the brew turns out

Bottled this on Thursday night and had a taster last night. Still a bit green, but it's a great brew. The pilgrim hops provide a lovely spicy bitterness - I'll definitely be using them again.
