Warminster Floor Malted Optic Barley is this the same malt as Galbraith has been raving about for the 6-12 months? So we can now buy it via Cryer?

Yeah - there wasn't anything written on the sack, so I asked for a COA for the base malt... supposedly "Bairds Organic Malt" and it was there on the COA that the malt is actually from Warminster Maltings in Wiltshire. It was pretty good stuff, but I wouldn't say it would be as good as the Maris Otter that Warminster produces.

Phenomenal beer! On the nose it's like a freshly opened hop bag, could sniff it from a meter away. Barely noticed the 9% it was so well balanced. It was right up there with the Green Flash and Sierra we tasted afterwards too. Well done :D

Just had a look at the recipe now Stu - 24g/l in the kettle and then a further 13g/l in the dry hop... Thanks for the great feedback Matthew.

Lovely beer Jo had one on tap at Hashigo and another snifter at Regionals. I was expecting an all out hop assault and it delivered, and so drinkable. There was a lot of complementary noises being made, sounds like they shifted a few units too

#394 is mine, all mine! Looking forward to a tasting!

I'm glad I got two bottles as the first one hardly touched the sides, so I need another before sending Jo my thoughts... For those of you hoping that His Majesty 2010 will be joining the "arms race" of hoppy beers, I better warn you now that it won't be. Maybe next year! ;-)
