Very happy!

Just so happy with the brew I've just made, can't help telling any one who's interested! Only started down the AG route this year, and I'm definitely hooked! I tasted a pint of UBU from the Purity Brewing Co. a couple of months ago, and thought I'd try to copy it as the info on the bar counter gave the ingredients. So, almost certainly the wrong proportions, but I went ahead and brewed up 23 litres with 4.7 Kg MO, 50g Challenger, 25g cascade. Been in the keg for 10 days, on my 2nd pint now....BLOODY GORGEOUS! I did think I'd over-hopped it when I tasted the hydrometer samples, even though I like a well hopped ale, but it does seem to have mellowed nicely. And even though I thought it'd come out at only 3.6% (???), I feel a bit mellow now before the bottom of my 2nd pint! Thanks to everyone who's given help, directly and indirectly to get me this far. Got the day off tomorrow, think I might get busy! Right. Going for a 3rd....

Glad you are no wasting those hydrometer samples

Well done, there can be no better advocate than someone like yourself.

It's as well you made the ascension today and not tomorrow, more might have been in awe.
