This looks tasty
Ta.

It was great fun to brew, and probably my favourite homebrewed IPA in the last year or so. I ended up a little shorter on volume than I'd hoped (14oz of hops probably to blame for that) and I reckon some would want maybe another 10 IBU but for me it's pretty much perfect. I'll share a recipe once I get some time.

7 day turn around with lutra. A quick and dirty stout to fill the lines until my next brew day. Too clean, as to be expected, very roasty. On the dry stout spectrum 5.3%
 
Too-warm, too-gassy sample of Steppe Brother imperial stout, from the fermenting keg. It's at 66 degrees. Trying to figure out whether it's done fermenting.

Really wild. Like a chocolate milkshake with a shot of vodka hidden in it somewhere. The yeast taste is gone. Delicious. My wife doesn't like beer much, but I gave her a little, and she was pretty slow to hand the glass back.

You wouldn't think imperial stout was the way to get a beginner into beer.

WC IIPA again.

An absolute triumph, and somehow one of the clearest beers I've ever brewed despite nearly a full pound of hops going in a batch that only yielded 16L keg volume.

Intending to bring a couple of bottles to my local homebrew club on the 25th but concerned there won't be any left by that point!
 
I'm just using a derivative of the "clone-ish" recipe found in the HBT thread here. I live close enough to Charlton to "know" that beer and it gets close enough for me - and I don't have to drive to Charlton :)

Cheers!
