Oh and a mate of mine at work picked me up 2 of those Dogfish Head 90m IPA's the other day...I like this bloke A LOT now....

Nice looking drinking vessel, that.

I'll get back to you.
I got them through here. Weizgei ordered them from the states.
If you google dogfish head IPA glass you'll see it.

Crown ambassador 2009.
bugger all hop aroma to it with a pronounced malt flavour, to be honest I wasn't impressed, but hey, when offered a glass you never say no do you.

No surprises there.

A rye 4 shades of stout. Fire cranking. Hawks v Swans on the box. Wearing my Crows guernsey.

Chubby Pog.

I might even say it is close to my favorite or of the 20 biab I have done whilst making up my own recipe.

Had 3 pots of a Belgian strong ale. Note to self - stop making 8+% beers as you can't be trusted to take it easy.

He he

All I can say is

He he.

Hey Pogierob, would you mind sharing the recipe?

Rookie question guys,

does this mean 1.5g/L of your desired batch size?

if I was aiming for a 20lt batch then I'd put in 10g?

If you were doing a 20L batch you would add *30g of Northdown plugs at 15 minutes from the end of the boil and 30g at flameout. Use the 60 min addition to adjust the overall IBU of the recipe.

Using g/L of hops and grain % makes it easy to scale a recipe to any batch size.

*Actual weight was 28g per addition which is approximately how much one hop plug weighs.

Currently drinking some of my brothers Stubborn Russian that I collected when I was at the brewery earlier in the year

Now I'm just waiting for my 70L of Pilsner to be ready so I can start on that!! :D
It's my first AG Pilsner so it will be interesting to see how it goes There will also be two versions of it since it was made for one of my classes at uni for sensory analysis between a pils that's been lagered for 4 weeks and one thats been lagered for 10

My Tony Christie ale. Brewed with amarillo hops obviously. Goes down ok.
