More recently on November 1st I brewed an American style IPA called What Ales Ye? You may remember that my last attempt at an IPA was Beggars Belief. For some reason I decided to dry hop with East Kent Goldings instead of Cascade. The result was astonishing. The initial beer smelled and tasted like grapefruit and had all the American style IPA notes I would expect but on transferring to secondary and dry hopping with English hops, I ended up with an English style pale ale. It was absolutely lovely but not what I had wanted.
This time around I dry hopped with cascade, though I do like English pale ales so I used some English hops to bitter and the aroma hops are American. This is about ready to be transferred in to the Kegerator for drinking.
My Chocolate Dunkel is all gone now so the other night I replaced it with Blonde Beggar. It is not as conditioned as it could be but it will get better over the next week or so in the fridge. I imagine the same will be true of What Ales Ye?. This will be put in the fridge today I reckon because there can only be another pint or two of the Applewheat left.
Meanwhile my last two beers from last week, The Haka & Dubbel Whammy are still in primary. The Dubbel being a high gravity beer still has some activity but The Haka is probably finished, though will stay in the primary for at least another week.
So below are the recipes for both beers.
For stout/coffee lovers I recommend the Cloaked Stranger, it is like an espresso.
