Notes

Mash started 09:45
pH tested 10:00 = 6, tested again 10:50 maybe just over
Started raising to boil at 10:55
Drew off 14l for a half batch at 11:10
First batch reached boil at 11:25

I split this batch into two halves. One was aroma hopped with 45g Mosaic and 20g Challenger; then dry hopped with a similar amount. The other was aroma and dry hopped with similar amounts of Citra, Centennial and Chinook. Note these were in batches of 12.5 litres so the hopping rates are massively high.

The first batch - Citra, Centennial and Chinook was undrinkable and the first batch I have ever had to throw away. Just way too bitter and too overpowering a hop flavour. It was like the brewdog barley wine but even hoppier. A slightly TCP/medicinal flavour. Just too much. I think the Chinook may have tipped it over the edge.

The 2nd batch - Mosaic, Northdown and Challenger - was right at the edge but drinkable.

Also, I didn't like WLP007 very much. It seemed to stop towards the end of the fermentation and I had to restart it by adding another starter. It was very flocculent and formed a putty-like sludge that was easy to harvest though - but I didn't want to keep it.
