Hello Everyone, Only Me!
Brewed this yesterday.
1 Can Wilkos IPA. 20Lt brew.
500gr Med Spraymalt
500gr Light Spraymalt (Wilkos shelves bloody empty again!)
Yeast in at 20deg
SG 1040
Day 7 Dry Hop 100gr Chinook Leaf Hops.
Bottling day add 2Lts Mango puree to FV.
Brewed this back in 2014 and it was not good, I put the Mango in at the start of brew and the
Mango was completely stripped out in the fermentation stage. No smell or taste of Mango.

Re: Wilkos Mango IPA.....
Bottled this today.
Split brew to 10lts IPA, 10Lts Mango IPA.
Put 1lt Mango juice in 10lts beer, meh! no taste or smell of Mango!
Put 2lt Mango juice in 10lts beer, Hmmmm, that`s better, tidy smell and taste
of Mango, not over the top. Let`s see what happens!
Looks like tomato soup.

Hi WA,
As a newbie on JBK, I'm getting excited about trying one of these exotic beers, evennif they are kits from Wilko, but you have inspired me....

Re: Wilkos Mango IPA.....
Thanks for the bump orlando!
Forgot about this brew in the front room under the duvet!
Even managed to redecorate the whole room around the 2 crates of beer.
Just checked one of the Mango beers and it looks like watery tomato soup, the top inch has cleared ok,
this is going to be a long time settling.
I picked up one of the normal IPA, held it to the window and said `WOW`, clearest pint of HB ever seen,
(apart from my TC).
Shaun,
Don`t make this `Exotic` beer yet, I will `taste test` tomorrow and report back.
Yes, with pics.

Looks like there is something wrong with my capital W! Very faint, little w is ok, any ideas?
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Just saw another post with faint `W`, perhaps the `w` ink is running out on my laptop!
Yea, Wainie, I know. Stop using the big w.

Re: Wilkos Mango IPA.....
I never said a word and even if i had it wudda fell on deaf ears....
One thing i will say though is that,i never thought i`d see the day Idris come second to a mango.
At least he`s gotta good view into the garden.By the way wheres that honeysuckle ?
