The last hop addition is at cold crash temps for 5 days. I bottled it at cold crash temps and it came out fine after 10 days in the bottle.

First time I brewed this I overshot the gravity my a massive amout (1.072) so fit in the IPA category, but the plan was for it to be a APA :mug:

Lookin Tasty Lunchie

Cheers dude, I personally think its a beautiful beer :)

I'll give it a crack after christmas i think... trade beers and taste test.

I think it needs more hops. Drinking it for the last week and its mellowed waaaaay to much for my taste buds. More maybe double additions from 30mins on....not sure. Its a massive amount of hops to throw at a beer.....

Theres noi such thing as too many hops :ban:
