I didn’t manage to post for my last few brews: there’s been a stout with coffee, cocoa nibs, and vanilla (which was gorgeous!), a pale using Citra and Amarillo, and a couple of standard pale ales. If I don’t write the body of the post while I’m actually brewing it seems I never get around to it.
So, since the boil is on at the moment it seems like an opportune time to post this one…
Recipe is another from the Brewdog book, and the recipe XML itself I got from this useful site that’s got all the recipes from DIY Dog on it (the first edition, at least).

Comments:
Soft water today, only 159ppm. Used the “Sweet Pale Ale” profile from Jim’s.
A bit light on gravity, and bang on 20 litres into the FV. Gave it a 90 minute boil instead of 60 minute, in a hope that might give a little more clarity to the end product – the last few have been a little more hazy than I’d like. I also plan to fine this one with gelatine.
