Bloke,
I'm a bit rusty on stripping runs having single run for so loooooooooooong.
Only run today so not sure my opinion counts as yet but...1st 5lt It's "green" like not malty but almost a caramel, wet grass ,fresh, well aired smell...
2nd 5lt has tails in it it's flatter not wet dog as much as nutty. It's unlike anything I've done before.
Odd thing is must have added the Pale Ale malt to just 1 fermenter,( err mybad) it was much darker very malty and had the lower SG. There also was a slight colouration to the yeast bed like pale crimson.
I'm really enjoying a new recipe it's kinda fired me up again ...much needed... I really would like to be able to get three recipes to Tried and Proven in next year or so:
1 A fresh grain based Irish
2 A un peated Malt Irish3 A Wheat whiskey
Frank sry on last option but I've read plenty on wheat brews, aussie has it in plentiful supply and it's not main stream like the Irish drops.
