I missed my numbers horribly but I still think it'll turn out OK! This was my first all-grain batch and hopefully everyone else likes to drink on boxing day too and will be a little primed before they try it! Cheers!

Nice to see we are your test subjects on your first AG batch. lol

Be kind when you drink it! lol

Lol. Be kind with my dipa too.

I had some carbonation issues so I had to pop the tops and drop in some carb tabs last Saturday. Not ideal but I was in a bind. Most have dissolved but some will still need the occasional swirl.

Please leave them at room temperature until a couple days before the 26th.

Go ahead and toss this one in the fridge. On the verge of over carbonated depending on where you had it (warmer/cooler) so be prepared if it gushes. Some carb tab floaters too.

The rest of the batch that was kegged tasted a lot better and I'm wondering if when I popped the tops to add some carb tabs it might have botched it a bit.

Yup. I had a gusher. Didn't refrigerate it enough. But what didn't go down the sink was excellent! Cheers!

Slightly gushed. Some floaties like the previous beer done with carb drops. Very light brown. Biscuity and pine on the nose. Malt a bit stronger than the hop flavours. Nice bitterness. Picking up more citrus as I sip on this. I quite like it. Thanks!

I've been looking forward to trying this one as I've had this recipe on my to-brew list for a while. It's a very nice beer. I like the combination of American hops with the brown malt bill. Mine was just about to start gushing but I caught it; I also nabbed a fruit fly out of the head, but I squeezed the beer out of it I could drink a bunch of this. Thanks!!

Great American brown ale. Nice malt flavors along with great hop aromas.
