Hell's yes! I did an amber a couple of weeks ago with 500g of fresh hops and still had a kilo left to dry and freeze. Happy days my friend! I'll be kegging it this week and bring a bottle along to the next WBC (if it's not a grass bomb!).

Nice one! I rammed 600g  wet and 60g of dried fresh Danscade into a harvest ale over the weekend.  250g dried are still sitting in the freezer for my next one.  I'll look forward to comparing notes on our lawn clipping wonders.

There's no need to finalise the list til a week or two before, but now that we'll each get at least a 6 pack of tasters I'm thinking about what I'll brew.  I've got a hankering for a late Autumn Brown Ale, but then again an Alt might be good too....

What do you others reckon you'll brew?

I've got a mate up here who will join in too.

He's just joined Realbeer today - so it'll be a couple of days before him name pops up.

He's a BIAB'er - but I don't hold it against him :) haha

At this stage I'm thinking a Belgian Stout for my swap.

Excellent  - the more the better... even if he is a teabagging BIABer.

Belgian stout - now thats one beer I haven't managed to get right yet - very keen to taste and learn!

I've never tried making one before - but I can't think of a better time to try. How hard could it be..right???

Yeah - true, nothing like feedback to hone the recipe.  My experience is that its a challenge to get the belgian phenols and roast flavours to play nicely together.  But I did try to work my recipe up from scratch with a concept in mind rather than use a tried and tested recipe.  Bit off more than I could chew at the time - but learnt a whole heap from doing it...
