Could you keep the Americanisms off this thread please.

Gor blimey, what a clanger! I meant: I'm keen to hear when its done, I'll be gobsmacked if it's not a right proper pint.

Better.

Well I love your enthusiasm for high-cohumolone english hops Seymour, even if it is expressed in american

so.. It seems to be ticking along alright.. after day 1 I had SG of 1.030. The hop aroma is definitely big, bold and "modern". Success?

Awww shucks!

reckon that would have been a tasty brew padalac.
ive used admiral, quite orangey in a marmalade sought of way. spire do one called nelson that uses it in a big way, its excellent. I do a beer under the cambrinus brand we bought, it used herald but as that gut grubbed out it switched to pilgrim, its not a hop monster, its very balanced with moderate hop usage its quite smooth and quaffable, but it does have quite a limited hop bill!

[Padalac]

yea, it tasted great when it was just reaching FG!

i think it is going to necessitate a rebrew.. but in order to avoid any further infections i'm gna throw out my plastic FVs, and possibly switch to glass. going to do a pretty big revamp of my brewery in general though, so when I've built my new ferment fridge and got the new FVs, and a few other bits and bobs, I'll do a rebrew and let you guys know how it turned out.

I tasted Schlafly Admiral Hop Trial recently, "It poured a clear golden colour with weak white foam. Not too bitter, surprisingly fruity: juicy apricots, mangos, golden raisins, tangerines, pears. Smooth, no coarse weediness whatsoever. A very pleasant hop..."

It is a shame that text-based communication does not convey accents, but it could be that Seymour has been taking his cockney elocution lessons from Dick Van Dyke. Mr. Van Dyke's performance (in Mary Poppins) has become a cinematographic milestone in how not to do an accent. It was so bad that it was almost comedic to Brits. His excuse was that his voice coach was Irish. When a film is being made in Britain, at Pinewood Studios, about ten miles outside of London proper, one would have thought that it would not have been difficult to find an authentic voice coach; Of course they could have taken him to an east-end pub so that he could hear the real thing (if there is such a thing as a real cockney accent).

Many years later we Brits fought back with Bob Hoskins in Roger Rabbit. Even I could detect that Mr Hoskins had a much less than convincing American accent. It has not been recorded what the Americans thought of Mr Hoskins' accent though.

What do you mean, almost comedic?
