    Pink Grapefruit IPA - made it a bit stronger than last time but a bit of a “ginger” aftertaste. Decent, but disappointing. The frustrating feeling we did something different and it hasn’t quite worked. 6/10

    Belgian Witbier - lovely, surprisingly dark with some delicious cinnamon aftertaste. A real winner from a style pretty hard to find nowadays. Very refreshing on a warm afternoon. 8/10

    Black Rock IPA - ready tomorrow.

    Hazy IPA - Ready December 26th

    Red IPA - Ready January 3rd

    American APA - Ready mid January.

    I’ve been a busy boy. I should really update my fitness thread to balance out all this beer brewing.

    Really good. Hoppy, flavoursome and nice and strong. A passing resemblance to Panhead Super charger. 7.5/10

    20L/four mini-kegs of American IPA doing their second ferment on a heating tray. Made from an upmarket kit with real hops. Will need a week or two before going into cool storage

    Plum Porter - St Peters Brewery kit. Much lighter than Guinness or a Stout and seriously drinkable - can catch up on you

    Looks magnificent by the way.

    6 weeks in the 5L keg. Had its twin at 4 weeks and was equally good.

    Head is good considering I don't really go for fizzy beer.

    Regrettably I got a bit generous with some of my stouts ( here, check this out ! Brewed it myself ) and ran out. Had the last of them in mid December and it was outstanding. I really must brew a bunch this Summer and age them in time for the colder months !

    @dogmeat agreed, DIPA is more important (after several of them) is a great way to go!

    Four Pirate Life IIPAs would have me near incapable of providing a quality review.

    Folks, how long do you leave your beer to condition/clear?

    I have some IPA which is taking an age - 4 weeks so far - and I'm getting impatient.
