Taxis usually that pissed , he does runners out of his own cab!Bunch of drunks on here I think ;-)
Kegged up my old peculiar clone but used too much chocolate malt one thinks as its more of a stout, scratch that, it's a stout.
Still lovely, just in the fridge now, gas hooked up ready for later! IPA next on the agenda; I have a coopers IPA kit so will be using that with some added grain and hops for kicks!

You're all a bad influence on me, and made me buy a kit three weeks ago. I tried John Bull IPA and liked it.
I passed a couple of bottles on to my Dad, who it turns out used to make beer from hops and other stuff not delivered by Amazon in a can that actually smelled of beer.
I've gone from being pleased I made something drinkable to feeling like I diluted ribena concentrate and tried to claim I'd invented grapre juice.
Point me in the right direction please. I'm a lager drinker by trade and the IPA was close enough to work for me.

I have 2 plastic PET carboys. I washed both with hot water and one is slightly warped. It's as if there is condensation in it now but I don't think it is. Could it be some sort of mineral build up or did I ruin the fecker?
Just done a nice IPA, or at least I hope it's nice. Recipe and method below if anyone wants to give it a go.
1x Coopers IPA
1x Coopers Liquid Amber Malt Extract 1.5kg
500g DME
100g Crystal Munich (or Crystal Light (60))
12g Citra @15min
15g Mosaic @15min
10g Centenial @15min
15g Amarillo @15min
15g Mosaic @ Flameout
8g Amarillo @ Flameout (I ran out)
20g Centenial @Flameout
12g Galaxy @Flameout
US-05 yeast (re-hydrated in a glass of tepid water)
I steeped the grain for 30mins @76C in 4L then added DME and brought to a boil.
After the hot-break, I added the 15min additions, boiled for 15mins and switched off the heat, then added the flameout additions.
I then added the IPA tin and Amber malt tin contents to the FV and once the wort cooled to 55C I added it via a strainer to the FV, topped up to the 21L to about 22C mark and added the yeast. In the fridge now at 19C, will up it for a few days to 22C after 2 weeks.

Been aging an old peculiar clone in the keg for a few weeks now, and a lot can be said for aging beer!! Tasted lovely going in and pulled a fewer since then but left it for the last 2 weeks and just poured one; great tasting.
A bit more of a stout that an old peculiar clone to me, too much choc malt? But a great brew, going down easily on a wet and dreary Manchester afternoon!
