I did this as a BIAB and it all worked perfectly hitting the right numbers at each stage.
As one would expect the taste is…..different! I quite enjoyed it though the thin mouthfeel means that it is not the first beer I would reach for every time. I probably won’t repeat it but am very glad that I’ve tried it.

Definitely improved with time.
My first time brewing a brut IPA and wasn’t too sure about the taste (or the body) at first, it is certainly different. First pint took a long time to drink. I didn’t try it again until I’d run out of my hoppy IPA that I’d brewed earlier and so it stood in the keg for about 3 weeks. When I went back to it the taste had improved immensely – I actually liked it a lot, refreshing, cleansing and great with a curry.
Make sure you dial up the carbonation as it is better fizzy, and serve it cold.
It was quite a revelation and I can imagine would be a superb barbecue beer.
