Brewing Up A Storm? Maybe!

Bet you are glad you were not brewing this beer in this thread http://forums.pubsgalore.co.uk/showt...of-hops-anyone

P.S You sure it is 5 barrel? 10 x 9 gallon firkins = 2.5 barrel plant, for a mid range 4.2% abv?

Well the beer will be on the bar in The Baum for tonight when the local CAMRA group are having their monthly meeting.

I've no doubt that if we ask for feedback we'll certainly get it.

I'll be down there to try it myself later on.

Well we got loads of feedback, almost all of it positive.

We went through 8 gallons of it last night alone, which is fantastic considering there were 7 other beers on the bar.

It turned out exactly as we wanted and judging by the response in the Baum, Green Mill may well brew it again !!

Glad it went well, ROB. A new career perhaps?

Green Mill have brewed Old Gits again.

They say they just had to tweak it by adding a few Cascade hops.

What they mean is that it's no longer exactly our recipe, so we would have no legal claim on it if it started selling 100 barrels a week.

It should be on the bar in the next week or so.

It would be amusing if the Cascade had changed it significantly and it was now crap.

Two 9's of Old Gits in the cellar at the Baum dropped off by Phil from the brewery last night.

I was talking to Phil & Matt at their stand at Bury Beer Festival on Saturday.

Whilst we were chatting Phil got a text from The Puzzle Hall in Sowerby Bridge.

They were asking if he could get them another 9 of Puzzle First Anniversary Ale as the first one sold in 3 hours!!

Guess what the Puzzle Ale was rebadged?

Marble Pint?

Marble Pint?

Correct! There's no fooling you A&H.

Marble Pint?

I think Blind Jacks in Knaresborough do the same thing

Tried the new Greenmill version of Old Gits last night, it doesn't really work. It's still OK but they've lost the bitterness provided by the Chinook hops.

The Chinook are still in there but they've added 400g of Cascade which has changed it completely.

I was talking to Matt (the brewer) last night and suggested that they drop the Cascade and go back to the original recipe. Let's see what happens with the next brew.
