After waiting months on end, the day has arrived to taste the KBS clone brewed in March. At that point I hadn't even tried the original so wasn't sure what I was making. Bourbon, coffee and chocolate sounded too good not to attempt. If you want to see the brewday video then go here.
Somehow this turned into 14 minutes, not really sure how that happened. I'm still not sure what to do about the dryhop and I give the American Wheat from a few weeks back a taste.

Brewing up a black IPA to make use of the Kveik yeastcake from the previous Red IPA brew but also use up some old malts and especially hops. It turned out I had a few Styrian varieties from Slovenia that I thought might work well. The end result is a different type of IPA that works really well with the dark malts. Have to say that after 2 weeks in the keg, the Styrian Wolf is coming through more and more which wasn't immediately obvious at the time of recording. Very much enjoying this and at 4.5%, I can have a few more in a night.

"Well that went without a hitch" said no-one ever when brewing on a new system. Thought I'd get the camera out for this occasion rather than not make myself look like a right tit and hide all the funny bits.
Some teething problems but overall it was an OK day. First of many in this machine as long as it doesn't get leg-dropped from the top of the garage in a fit of pique for refusing to bend to my will. I will not be beaten by a machine, I'm with John Conner on this.
I neglected to mention in the final edit (I did on the directors cut aka the 7 minute final thoughts ramble that was ditched) that I got sent an equipment profile for the Robobrew from Paul Delaney. Cheers Paul, it worked a treat and was pretty accurate despite my best efforts to mess it up. Check out Pauls channel below.
