impromptu brew day. Strong bitter. Pale malt, amber, crystal 130 and torrefied wheat. Single hopped with keg. 1050 og, should come in at 4.9% whc depending.

What type of variance do people experience? Mines gone from 111 to 48 between March and May.

I've just bottled a pale ale after 24 days in the fermenter. 1 day in the bottle and I can read a newspaper through it! I ferment in kettle and usually bottle at 2 weeks, it's never been so clear. Thumbs up for extra time in fermenter.

personally , I think your bu:gu is about there, but I tend to go low due to past beers being overly bitter (probably water profile).

I've used similar amounts of black malt for full mash and at mash out. the beer at mash out was preferred, although they were other differences between them. Black malt might make it on my do not use list. I have one more beer to try it with then 875g of it will be available!

I have a brilliant bottle shop here and been to Germany several times, but I don't recognise any of the beers you've had these 2 days. Just goes to show...

Think that was my friends uncle

I think music concerts mostly. Perhaps wrestling? I bought him a charlatans (or inspiral carpets) video from an antique shop in Alnwick. It was just a display item but £2 he'll be made when I give it him.

Slightly off topic, but a mate of mine has started to collect vhs? ! So if you have any, I'll give you his number as I know charity shops don't take them 😂
