Anyhoo, after telling you all how easy big beers are, I suppose it's time to admit that the mighty pale ale supposed to be at least 7% is actually a measly 6.5%.
Why? If I tell you it should have been boiled longer to concentrate the wort? Any guesses? Something to do with a heater?
You, boy at the back. That's right. Heater on the copper gave up on us. So there you go. I now always meant it to be 6.5%
I think its going to be good though. Obviously not as strong, or as intense as planned, and paler of course. Probably not a bad thing as it turns out, since it's quite progressive as it is. First outing at the Ulverston Beer Festival: Thursday 2nd September to Saturday 4th September.
