Whats Brewing / Brewed?

In tank now and going into cask & keykeg tomorrow is an experiment in brewing a beer like Tiller Pin but without the reliance on hops from America. With the US Political happenings and Tariffs being bandied about willy nilly it seems pertinent to try and use hops from other countries.
Maga made me do it 4.2% is exactly the same British grown Malts but we are using UK and New Zealand grown hops to try and approximate the flavours in Tiller PIn. We have UK Grown Cascade and Chinook hops which go in the copper and trying to replace American Citra with a combo of NZ Superdelic & Nectaron, then in the dry hopping we are trying NZ Taiheke (NZ Cascade) to replace the American Chinook and a blend of Superdelic & Nectaron again to replace the Citra.

The beer is tasting lovely from tank and definitely has some similarities to Tiller Pin, the photo above still has yeast in it but it will be fined and clear once served in a pub. Bag in Boxes (10L or 20L) could be filled tomorrow 13th June if anyone wants, let us know do day if so.

Also brewing this week are Velvet Gloss Stout 5%, Orange Cats IPA 5% and Dassler Helles Lager 4.2% (Dassler is 30L keykeg only and won’t be ready for at least a couple of weeks)

We’ll be really keen to hear what you think of ‘Maga made me do it’, we might just think up a proper name for the beer and make it a Gluten Free beer for a future iteration.

Cheers
