Deuchars IPA
Well, I done the one from GW's book a month ago or so and it's ripe for the picking now..
I didn't have fuggle at the time so used brambling cross and all I can say is wow.... beautiful, truly beautiful my favourite to date..
I hope this helps someone out

I've done a Deuchars IPA from Grahams book too. Like yours, mine turned out really good. Definately recommend it
Going to try Graham's Black Sheep best bitter this weekend. Hope that turns out as good as the IPA!

Re: Deuchars IPA
I dare say my Deuchars IPA would be good if not for some carbonation issues, though I used the recipe from www.hopandgrain.com which I think has slightly different hops.

I did Graham`s Black Sheep and it was very good, not an exact copy taste wise but still a good beer.harvs wrote:I've done a Deuchars IPA from Grahams book too. Like yours, mine turned out really good. Definately recommend it![]()

Re: Deuchars IPA
What yeast did you use Rick, I have tried this recipe twice before using s04 and the beer wasnt to good, I have just kegged my third attempt and for the first time i have took the plunge into using liquid yeast. I have to say that this batch of beer is nothing like i have made before. The smell was fantastic also this encouraged me to have a sly taste straight from the FV which i have to say seems to be very good indeed. Also i was very much impressed with the colour and brightness of this beer and a can not wait to try this once i've conditioned it and gased it up slightly.

There is a recipe that I did on www.hopandgrain.com though others have used the Graham Wheeler Book recipe.arkadiuszmakarenko wrote:But where is the recipe?

I didn't however have any fuggle so used Brambling X which is said to be a good alternative and I'm well impressed; so much so I will be doing another soon and sticking with Bramblings spicyness.

Re: Deuchars IPA
Yes I agree with that. Have just used Bramling Cross for the first time (from Barley Bottom) and I'm well impressed. I used it in GW's McMullen's County Best along with Fuggles and WGV and I shall definitely be using it again.rick_huggins wrote:Just plain old S04 mate; seemed to do the trick!andysmok wrote:What yeast did you use Rick,

Re: Deuchars IPA
Hi, just made this exactly as per the GW British Real Ale book. Bubbling away nicely, I'll let you know how it turns out. I've seen a much more complex recipe though on the hop and grain website using a more sophisticated hops schedule and no wheat malt (the GW recipe uses a bit). Anyone made that version?
