Thats a lot of hops, whats the IBU's come out at?

Hmm... Looks nice!

A 'sort of extract Summer lightening.....

I dont have beer engine software on this PC but I'd have a guess at the high 30's early 40's!!!



Enjoy!!

That's just what I thought nice light and hoppy summer session beer, it smells amazing, nice and crisp and fruity is what I am hoping for

Just dropped the full boil hops in to the beer engine and the ebu came out as 45 if your challenger alpha is 7.6% and the golding is 5.7%, those are just the numbers the engine defaults to, if you know the %'s let me know n I can give you an accurate reckoning.

Goldings 5.1%, Challenger 7.5%, I have been playing about with Beer Engine and I got a higher ebu than you it came out at 50. I do like my beers hoppy though, Would be interested to know what your calculations are just to see if I am using the software properly.

Just took a sample and it's finished fermenting and dropped almost clear already, had a taste of the sample and I think it's my best brew so far, it tastes great, nice and hoppy, light and refreshing I have high hopes for this one after a few weeks conditioning. I will soon have my AG set up sorted so hopefully my beers will get better and better
