Mashed for 90mins @ 66c, Boiled for 60mins, took an age to cool with loads of stirring!

Quite a Full bucket of malt:

FWH, 250g of Amarillo:

Hops in the copper, there is some wort underneath!:

100g at 15mins left to boil:

Hop Stew, the spoon just stands up in it there are so many hops in the copper:

There is a IC in there somewhere:

About 5 points low on my target, I was half expecting this with such a large amount of Munich Malt coupled with the massive amount of Hops in addition to the compensated 5 Litres of losses guestimate!:

The Twins:

😉 US-05 dry sprinkled at 23c
I’m guessing the US-05 will finish lower than predicted so the ABV will hopefully be around that predicted.

*Bottled 4th Sept ’10 with 65g White Sugar

*Last of the bottles 3rd March ’12, yes… 2012! This has really changed, this was a Brewdog-esque in-yer-face Bitter-bastard of a beer, now it is delicate and refined with honey sweet notes on the nose, an altogether different beer. I would put it in the same class as an aged Fullers ‘Brewers Reserve’, its making me want to brew it again and just leave 40 bottles well alone for 2 years before tasting. Mmmmm 🙂
