Hops Harvest Ale
Brewed with fresh picked green hops. Came third in Nelson SOBA Homebrew comp. I used a lot of hops so there was a lot of wort absorbed into the hops. As a result target gravity came out considerably less than calculated. But still ended up being one of my better beers. Style Information Name: American …

Shot In The Dark
With this recipe I’m shooting for some roasty flavours from the chocolate malt combined with the hoppiness of an IPA. The style is sometimes known as Black IPA but that’s a bit of an oxymoron and it’s got bugger all to do with India so I prefer to simply call it a Dark Hoppy Ale …

Amarillo Ale
