What are you brewing?

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[JoKing]

LMK if you want some Brett to chuck in there Dan (might take a year to ferment though), I've got the funkiest shit growing wild in my Molasses tanks ATM. It REEKS of Pine Apple.

[Dan]

Thanks but i,ll keep this one simple for now, would like to use some brett one day with cherries, at the moment I just wanna get some in bottles, im too impatient to wait a year.

Nice one Joking. You got to "get obsessed and stay obsessed" as Graham Greene said.

Nice! I am an APA fan. Recently brewed an APA monster (110 IBU). It was initially too bitter, but it actually matured out really well. It was commonly referred to as lunatics soup. No need for pot at that level!!

[JoKing]

You are one sick SOB, Tony! You should post that recipe up, so the other hopheads on here can dream about it.

Holy sh*t that looks tasty Mike!!!

[Mike Neilson]

Heres Hoping!! Change Hoping Schedule to 90g Chinook @ 60 and 50g Centenial @ 30 woundering if I should add a 15 min addition?

[Reviled]

Up to you, I wouldnt personally with a beer like that, would be better without much hop flavour.. I probably wouldnt even have the 30 min addition in a beer like this, but thats just me..

[Mike Neilson]

Yeah!! very true!! the aroma vanishes pretty quick!!

[Stu McKinlay]

I'm with reviled - you probably don't want hop aroma competing with the smoke.
Though you won't know unless you try...
