The more I drink the drier my mouth! 😂

For my taste that would make it more drinkable and more enjoyable, as it is it puts me in mind of Jackhammer! If you’ve not tried the original you can get it in Morrisons - might be worth trying it before you brew a batch?

I had a couple of pints of Sussex Best in the pub and then picked up this 5-Points Best on the way home. I’ve seen @dave_77 with a bottle a few times and have been meaning to try it because it uses the same ingredients as my own best bitter. The 5-Points version is lighter in colour, is less...

Sorry! Mind you, it’s about time we had some better weather.

I’ve had to dress the gazebo because it’s just too hot to sit in the open. I’ve since moved on to my Full English Best Bitter.

Today I’ve planted up those raised beds I rebuilt (though still haven’t painted) so time for a beer. I’m mixing it up today by starting with a Pirate Pale. 😉

I was just woken up from a snooze by drops of rain falling on my face. How rude! I’ve come indoors with a Pirate Pale.

Pretty much a repeat of yesterday but I did go to the garden centre and bought some plants. I’ve planted up the pots at the front of the house and stopped for a beer or two. Full English to start.

Moving on to my Pirate Pale now.

I’ve managed to spend the day in the garden but it has been pretty windy. Time for a beer now and I fancy a glass of my Full English Best Bitter.

Ah yes. Again, give it a go. I can’t see it giving you a problem, it will work well to brighten your beer or not - either way you’ll learn something and still have nice beer.

It might work although in general the finings are added at the surface and as they drop they gather and take particles down with them. If they start at the bottom I’m not sure how effective they will be. Gas post?

Many of us add gelatine to the keg to brighten the beer and there’s no issue force carbonating. I can’t advise on the level of impact on secondary fermentation but you could try and fall back on forced carbonation if there is a serious impact - then you can tell us! 😉

I’m on the Fife & Drum from Musket, pub lunch 😋

My guests were supposed to arrive at 2:30. I think I’ve given them long enough so I’m starting without them. Pirate Pale.
