Interesting Mike. What do you reckon to the Zythos blend - is it a long term proposition or a short term fix until the new acreages get productive ?

[Mike Neilson]

I have only used it in a blonde ale, along with Simcoe and Citra so it has been in pretty good company, and is one of the best beers I have brewed!! So when I normally brew wicked beers I do wicked fuck ups, like this one jamming the keg tap in the door of the fridge only to empty the whole keg onto my garage floor, bye bye blonde ale.

Zythos in the beer came across like a good C hops and im thinking a little sherbety citrus. Im pretty happy with it thus far I have to be I got a Ton of it!!

It's nearly two months since I brewed. I think the last one was the Analogue pale Ale - a 1033 version of Yeastieboys Digital IPA - and in keeping with my old non digital thermometer

 

So today, in keeping with the theme, I have my MPA, Mechanical Pale Ale

85% Golden Promise

15% Caramalt

Sauvin to bitter and then Pacifica & Motueka at 15 10 5 & 0

With '05

Nice timer.  Does it go all the way to 45min?

Some people will be cringing to see you using Sauvin for bitterring.  Not me though.
