First in the month a full 20l batch IPA, Pale malt only (not Golden Promise) and the Golding, Progress and Styrian Golding hop combination. Then, a further try at a Spate – a copper bitter this time with Fuggles and Progress – chasing a spicy, earthy flavour.

Then a couple of of beer experiments. Late in the month, my usual Wyeast West Yorkshire 1469 split batched with the Wyeast 1098 British Ale in the IPA and with the Wyeast 1099 Whitbread in the Slack Alice.
