Today I came home from lecture to find a 47 lb package of hops, grain, and malt syrup on my front porch. Now for you Brits, that's 21.4 kilos!! And for you Aussies that's 3.36 stones keeping in mind that the average weight runs about 12 stones for a good half-back. So I have 25% of a good rugby player to turn into 25 gallons of beer:) Sounds cool like that. I got in 5 batches and plan on doing 2 tomorrow with Junk and just making an easy week out of it before Thanksgiving break. Without giving away what we're brewing, I'll just give you hints:
1. A maltier, sweeter, low hopped beer that can be traced back to Burton-upon-Trent-- style examples are Bass Pale Ale and Boddington's Pub Ale
2. A little toasted malt, and a past crowd pleaser-- style example is Gaelic Ale (and no Killian's is not exactly like this one, good guess though)
3. A spawn from American lager beers, adjuncts such as rice and corn are sometimes added-- style example Terrapin Beer's second seasonal beer that became so popular it is now the 2nd type of beer they produce
4. Developed during the British colonization of a certain subcontinent-- no example needed if you don't know you should work on rounding out your palate!
5. This one may be a little tricky for some to guess, these beers were given a hair more hops and some pale malts and are great session beers due to low ABV-- style example Honker's Ale
Don't change that Bat-Channel
