[Buzz]

Looks a tasty little number. Hope it goes well

[Garth]

cheers Buzz, it is indeed tasty, even the lager and Bodds drinkers at New Year were supping pints of the stuff.....

...and that was at 8pm before anyone was mashed..

[ECR]

Sounds great. Hope you have agood one

[Garth]

cheers ECR, loving the new name

[roger the dog]

Have a good one Garth, I will make this one day

[AT]

This is a great recipe i'll be doing it again soon Garth. Same as you everybody who tasted it loved it. Good luck with the brew day

[Garth]

yep, was a definate winner, cheers AT

thanks RTD, how are you finding the Townes? I enjoyed it but the Cascade seemed to disappear from the cornie a bit too quick ...

[roger the dog]

It's a lovely pint Garth, nearly finished now & I'm sure I'll brew it again (if I can get the hops) but as I mentioned on another thread, after steeping & dry hopping the cascade aroma was minimal to say the least, I'll have to increase both quantities significantly next time.

[Garth]

totaly agree with you there RTD, I steeped quite a bit and it just didn't hang around long enough

I have some Cascade but they're pellets so I'll have to use them in a brew with some flowers as well. Pellets and my system don't like each other at all..

[mixbrewery]

This looks a cracker Garth.
Don't supose you could email me the promash file to save me typing it in
Hope it goes to plan.

[Garth]

no probs mix, give me a few minutes and I'll get it sorted

[Wez]

Have a good one Garth

How are you finding that Hookey Street BTW?

[delboy]

How much does the treacle figure in the final taste?

[Garth]

Wez, haven't even sneaky slurped the Hookey, it's in it's cornie carbed up and ready for something else to run out, looking forward to it,

whose ever recipe it is I can't remember, cheers, was it yours Wez?

DB, the treacle is quite prominent in the final beer, much more than I thought it would be, if you want a bigger treacle taste add another 50g-100g
