Jamo's Strong Nutty Ale

Hey Guys

This beer was supposed to be close to a Sierra Nervada Pale Ale style beer, however a few little over sights with my efficeny settings in Beer smith made for a stronger style beer so i had to up the hops on the fly with only what i had available..

Notes

I didnt have time to dry hop this beer so what iv done is added 0.5 of a gram to each bottle whilst bottling (approx 1.5 pellets) During Carbonation you can visually see the hop leaves swirling around in the bottle so i'm hoping it will be a success

Will post back on flavor and tasting notes

Cheers

Enjoy

Would have been one of those times it would have been handy to have had hop oil on hand ?
