Brewing mine tomorrow. Haven't yet made up the recipe but it will be a mix of
Maris Otter
Roast Barley
Crystal
Nelson Sauvin
Maybe 1968 yeast but I may use S05 to assist a dryer finish
Might add a dash of Epsom salts to get some SO4 in their for a bit sharpness to the hops, has worked well inmy last brew


I'll save my trash talk for later.

I have an urge to stay away from the bottom of this one... Almost ready to brew. Just waiting on Mystery Ingredients X, Y and Z...

Oh oh!! X, Y and Z? What are they? Let me guess a Shamrock a Potatoe and a Leprecon?

Once I work out what X,Y and Z are I'll let you know! Potato mash sounds pretty good tho...

Mine and Steve's (completely out of style) Stout is carbonating in the bottle as we speak. It'll have plenty of time to bottle condition before the comp!

Mine has been fermenting for 5 days and it looks done. I'm off on hols for a week tonight so will leave it until I get back and then bottle, leaving 3 weeks to carb and condition!

I won't be brewing for this one :( Dry stout just isn't on my "To Brew" list at the moment. I'm about 90% through a keg of Foreign Extra Stout at the moment and won't be brewing a Stout again for a few months.

Looks like there are some interesting beers being brewed. If I was going to brew for it I'd be aiming for dry'ish version Towshend #9. Plenty of Roasted Barley, Chocolate, Smoked Malt, not too much crystal and whatever else it is that makes that beer so rich, smooth & delicious. Mmmmm, Number 9, aaarghhhh...

Don't forget, you enter one bottle and you have to drink the rest! Brew what you like to drink, chances are other people will like it too.

It gives me wood, and I still have 12 bottles left.
