RoShamBo IPA Lives!!!!!!!

                                                

It was a lovely day for a collab, the birds were singing, the sun was shining and the brewers were almost ready to brew. We started early Tyler went to go a pick up BroadfordBrewer from the station and Steve picked up Ken from the Half Moon in Pool. We all met up at the brewery with cups and tea and coffee and started to make a plan from the beast that would become RoShamBo IPA our 6.8% collaboration effort bringing together 3 homebrewers for a common cause and that cause was to brew the most bitter bad assery IPA there is. Before the hops were choosen the malts needed a check, the 3 of them went with Maris Otter, Munich l/c and Caramalt. The mash tun had anopen mouth and started the process off so off the brewers went and scampered down the stairs into the cold room to procure the hops to try and tame the beast. We choose a delicate balance of 3 different hops and the hops they choose were: Simcoe(Ken Fisher) Columbus(David Bishop) and Amarillo(Steve Crump). Some of those hops went in at 60 minutes to flame out other went in at 30, some even went in at 15, a smidge went in at 2 and a few of them hung around during flame out.So then we transferred and the fermentation started (I wont bore you with this process.) So a week went by and the yeast did its thing and we got the pleasure of transferring the beer to CT3, tis a favourite of mine a lot of great beers have seen this CT. So we dry hopped it with Chinnok, Ahtanum and Amarillo! The Red Willow Tap House is so far the only place you can get this beer as they have been the only one to buy it for the crawl. So there you have it, a great collaboration and thus far a damn fine beer. We will also be tapping the last nine at The Rook and Gaskill in York at the end of September so keep your peepers peeled for the tweets!

This is just a rough draft of the pump clip. Its 6.8% I promise!
