Beer?

[stephec]

The front of the can should've been a bit of a clue with this one, too much fruit cocktail going on for me, especially as it clashes with the bitterness.

Well this was certainly a choice.

Not sure if it's a national thing or not, but our local Asda is currently doing 5 craft tins for £10. About half their range is in the offer and last time we "saved" about £8.

Craft Beer Co Bitter from Kent Brewery. Enjoyable whilst watching the tube strike induced bike chaos unfold.

Strap in lads, we're making a pale ale.

Mash done, just getting the boil going. Black Sheep on the go while I wait.

Azacca hops, should be quite fruity. Pineapple and mango or so they say.

Bog standard Safale US-05 yeast, nothing interesting. I did also get some endopeptidase enzyme which should reduce the gluten levels, along with other proteins. Hopefully make it more tolerable to my current romantic partner. Calculator suggests a nice quaffable 3.8% ABV which is about what I was going for but I'll take a reading before I pitch the yeast.

The flat smells like Horlicks which is not doing me any favours this time of night, I need to stay awake to get this done.

Update:

Gravity was 1.040 which puts us on course for that 3.8% ABV. I'll put this in the garage tomorrow morning and forget about it for a fortnight or so.
