    Wowzer.

    62 BHP ?? an indication of power but I'm sure something better can be made of the acronym. Big Hop Presence...

    This is great. You should send a bottle to Dogfish Head and tell them they can stop trying. Can't wait to hear what the name will be.

    Thanks for the wows gents.

    There will be some malt (pale, crystal and roasted OG 1065) Adrian and we are resisting the temptation to mash some hops.

    The only part of a hop you could malt is the seeds Fishter and the result would be pointless and probably on fire.

    There is hope yet Tim. I've got a couple of other potential new varieties that I am looking at to try to get to 65.

    For this brew Mr Balance has been given a holiday Lupe.

    69 varieties may now be a realistic target Zak so the scope for innuendo could be immense.

    Pete hi, You don't need to rush back (you lucky so and so) the beer will not be ready for sale for a few weeks. The brew is Friday and 20 of the varieties are going into the CT dry. We'll opt to rack when the flavour is optimum. I would guess mid to late March.

    You are welcome to join us if you are in the area Adrian. For the brewing rather than anything man-love related that is.
