Here are a few updates on my resent activity.
The American Pale Ale I brewed which was named Brooklyn Heights was racked last week, I decided this super hoppy beer needed more hops so I dry hopped it in the casks with some more Apollo. Brooklyn is now on the bar at The Hillsborough Hotel.
I brewed another beer in the Jazz series on Wednesday this one is Bob Crosby and will be about 4.7%, I only used one hop variety in Bob, Target. I have used Target before in some my other beers (not on its own) but I was very impressed with a single hopped beer I tried recently from another brewery so thought I’d give it go my self. I tasted the wort before fermentation and I think I may have over done it (another hop bomb) but time will tell it might calm down a bit.
HPA28° is tasting amazing I’m really pleased with it. Last week I tasted a small sample that had been kept separate from the rest of the brew (dregs in a bottle) and I didn’t like it, the sample had a little bit of yeast in it so this week I it again but this time the sample was bright. It tastes just like the 4 gallon test brew I did last year and its only a few weeks old.
