Second attempt at brewing something like a Scraggy Bay IPA from Kinnegar. Definitely closer this time although still so far away. However, I'm quite enjoying what is coming out the other end so all is good.
This is the last ever beer I made on the Robobrew before the divorce came through and I eloped with the Grainfather. This is supposed to be a session imperial stout, if such a thing exists. The plan was for it to come in under 7%, which isn't very sessionable I grant you but isn't 9%+ either. Didn't really go to plan. Yeast choice and mash temps didn't help.
This is based on Greg Hughes recipe in the bible.

This is another version of the Cararye IPA that turned out so well a few weeks back. Switched things around a bit with this recipe due to stock levels but expecting this to be as good if not better. Fermenting with kveik for extra fruitiness.

The full title of this beer is Big Banana Does Brussels Belgian IPA.
I've never had anyone actually brew me a beer before so I wasn't sure what to expect, especially as this was a bit of an experiment.

I finally get around to brewing with vienna malt. Much talky talky and not so much brewy brewy on this. One of these days I'll do a full brewday from start to finish, in fact it'll be 8th July - Strat Memorial Brewday LIVE! See you there.
