After an interminable wait, I finally get around to dry hopping the IPL. Was it worth all that buildup? No probably not. Still, I got nothing else so here goes... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlBBYtH2MsI
I'm still not fully sober yet 48 hours later which is why I slur my way through most of this video about my trip to Tyneside at the weekend.
Not much footage if at all. I'd rather just hang out and enjoy the moment than take video at things like this. Good job Homebrew Chris does such a good job at it. Go check out his video here for some drunk escapades. https://youtu.be/19Yiph8Q80g

Normally I do a grain to glass video but thought I'd put out a full brewday video this week instead for a change. There isn't anything to show in my process that hasn't already been seen before but someone may be watching this for the first time, you never know. If that is you then welcome in, hit that like and subscribe button when you are at it and sit back and listen to an Irishman ramble on for 15 minutes about everything and nothing.
The kit was kindly sent to me by David from the Youtube channel DTS1953, follow this link and give him a sub.

Kit itself is from the Malt Miller and is comes highly recommended from everyone I know who has tried the beer. I've tried it and it's superb, even my version of it using different malts was great. You can check out the kit and the recipe at the link below.

You know what I really like? red beers and centennial hops, thats what. Here's a great idea, lets mix both and see what comes out.
This is loosely based on Two Hearted by Bells Brewery, loosely in that this uses all Centennial hops at around the levels in their beer. That's about it though as its not intended to be an IPA.

The third beer and final beer from @PatsBrewery is a Belgian Blonde. I drank these all over one weekend which is why I'm going about stuff from last week and the week before.
Taking a mini-break from Youtube but normal service will be resumed soon.
