Just a quick one while Yanxian's drunk ..

Remember the India Mud Ale? Well, turns out it was pretty good after settling down; I did indeed meddle when it was too young. We just downed almost 8 litres between us and my 2 brothers-in-law. I'm going to fast tomorrow to make up for the calories.

It turned out a nice, sparkling light amber tone. Mouthfeel was a tad light but acceptable, and the dry hopping was really a great thing to do - it was bursting with hop aroma. I think I'll do this one again, with the following modified grain bill:

Cooper's IPA x 1
Dried light malt extract x 1kg
14g Cascade hops x 15mins
14g Cascade hops x 5mins
14g Kent Goldings x 5 mins
14g Amarillo at flameout
14g Cascade hops x 3 days for dry hopping
14g Amarillo hops x 3 days for dry hopping

Currently the taste is nice and floral, with maybe a wee hint of grassy-ness as it is so young, but I expect both the floral and grassy characteristics to mellow with age. All in all, not as much a disappointment as I thought it would be.
