I cracked one open the other day. Mmm its a bit like pop! So i had a few more. I have about 20 bottles left for Christmas, if they make it that far. I now wish i had brewed another batch alongside the first. Still got one bottle away for Santa though, or my son will be very displeased

I use the malt miller and Worcester hop shop. Next day delivery if you order before 2pm. May be a little far for you though as they are in England.

Bottled this on Friday night. Finished at 1.004. Sample was fantastic, all the spices blended together really well. Will be making this again for sure. I agree that the extra bean for last 3 days will be required next time. 10 out of 10 for this recipe mate Cheers

Just racked to secondary and added the last of the additions. All i can say is wow, the tester was incredible. The cardomom blends really well with the yeast. Gravity down to 1.008 so far.

When you refer to drinking beers out of a batch as 'having a sample' only to notice later that you have supped 10 500ml samples

Howdy. Brewed this last night. Only got an OG of 1.056. But then realised afterwards that Im brewing 5 English gallons not American gallons and didn't scale the recipe accordingly. Smells like Christmas ale. Im still happy with it though, just means i won't be completely tanked after a few bottles.

Im making this tomorrow. Looks like one hell of a concoction. My mouth is watering already. Managed to get everything i need for it but bloody hell them grains of paradise are expensive. Cheers
