Mashing this at the mo. Based on the "Epic Pale Ale" clone from CYBI. I've never tried the beer but I made the recipe a few months back and it was good.

2010 Cascade are smelling great... a return to form!

Amounts tweaked a little so I don't have to open more than 4 packs of Cascade

What yeast are you going to use?

Can You Brew It

Highly recommended, in fact The Sunday Show is good to, 3-4 hours of beer talk. They are all downloadable.

Hi Rob, I saw some pellets briefly on your shop this morning now they're gone again, you're teasing me here

Flytact, yeah it's a good podcast, they clone commercial beers, mainly US ones. This is a NZ beer which I haven't tried but I'm always looking for an excuse to throw loads of Cascade in a beer

Yeast is WLP001

Yep, I have them but only Simcoe packed, rest will be packed over the weekend so they will be available to order after 2 today.

Cheers

Rob

Working over the weekend, that's dedication!

Hop packing has long since been outsourced, Dad does it!!

I am having a double brew Sunday as my 2 new 60 litre fermenters have just turned up, chuffed!

Rob

Thanks. I have heard of CYBI, just couldn't figure out the acronym.
Epic was featured on one of the Brewmasters shows on Discovery Channel in the US. Dogfish did a collaboration brew with them and then went down to NZ. To taste it.

What are you brewing on Sunday Rob ?

I saw that episode, flytact. Enjoyable series, I wonder when it's back on.

10 gallons in the fermenter, 18C and yeast pitched. Quite pleased I managed to get the full 10! I will let this ferment for a week - 10 days before throwing in the dry hops.

I have planned a smoked porter and a stupidly hopped Yankie IPA

Having spot of bother with beer engine at the moment though so am unable to finish the recipes. Am going for 35% rauch in the porter, should be enough??

Rob

Looks gorgeous, I've been meaning to make something similar very soon. Be sure to squirrel some away to age a bit, all those hops will really benefit from it imho.

Yes, last time I brewed it I sank a full keg before it had matured properly, took a good 3 - 4 weeks for it to round out

That said, the smell from the FV is awesome. Got some pellets to dry hop.

Looks great man.

Racked into better bottles with 100g of pellet cascade in each one
