This was a takeaway "growler" from the bar/bottleshop.

Nice idea, did you take your own bottle knowing it would the fit?

British Blonde/Golden/Summer Ale. Will need to add some Brausol I think. Tastes nice enough but aroma is a bit disappointing.

No, think they've delivered in these PET bottles since they started. Have thought about doing this before, but first time I've bothered to do it.

Interesting backdrop in photo 2.
My click lock bottle cap of Stelsan broke then leaked too.
I replaced the broken one with a standard cap and am being cautious with the remaining original.
Bad batch of lids perhaps?
Anyone else had the same?

Edit p.s. I wouldn't use aluminium foil to cap , the acid contents (phosphoric) will dissolve aluminium, and as a no-rinse cleaner you will get aluminium in your brews.
Not good.
I suggest using another plastic cap or multilayer cling film.

This is useful- I’ve just fished my empty out of the recycling to keep as a spare, so far no issues with chemsan though.

My Cornish tin miners ale from keg. Initially disappointing as it is not even close to the target bitterness but 3 weeks in the keg and it’s alright. I don’t have much of a track record in British beers, at least it has cleared.

Still on my do list.

In Portugal at the moment and feel like I should be drinking the local beers but sagres and super bock are not hitting the spot. Think I’m going to have to stray into mainland Europe for my future beer selection as the supermarkets are full of it (plus the likes of abbot ale).
