. Not read through the thread yet. Love Secret Santa. Excited to read everyone's posts. First one of three from this generous Santa. Thank you. Chinook SMASH 5.6% I don't think I've knowingly had a smash up to yet. Nice white frothy head. Hazy Smells a bit hoppy, but not massively...

And like the number 11 bus, two arrive at the same time. From a very generous Santa, a Tribute, stout and a chinook smash. Looking forward to getting these open. Thank you.

SNAP!

This bad boy just arrived today, thank you Santa, but it looks like I may not be able to try it out and review until the new year. And @Alastair70 if you're keeping a track of things, my two went off yesterday, cheers.

I was just saying to SWMBO that I hadn't been online on the brew forum for ages, and then I realised its December, and that means one thing..... so here I am. If its not too late, can you put me down for two bottles please? Many thanks I love Secret Santa

I'm getting through this, although still have a fair few litres left which with any luck will last through til Christmas as the father-in-law will be over and he likes a beer. I dont know why, but the keg beer tastes nicer than the bottled version. The only difference being it had priming...

AG #29 Leffe Radieuse - Update Just under three months on since brewing this. First try of the bottled version of the Leffe Radieuse. First impressions are: Appearance. Browner than I had expected. Nice and clear. The sort of head that I would not expect to last very long. Off white/light...

And a 10.5% Imperial 'Long Levers' to finish. Syrupy.

I happen to be house sitting not far from Siren, so it would be rude not to pop in and sample their wares. Broken Dream Breakfast Stout 6.5%

This is good news..... I had it for a week / 10 days at ambient garage temps, which was actually pretty warm, and then its been at 10c in the fridge since then - so that's pretty much as you suggest. Thank you.

This has been in a corny for about a month now and I was minded to ask..... what temperature should one 'age' / condition?

Dont make your beer lines too short - start with them looped up and long - it will avoid / reduce fobbing. I think mine are about 2 metres and I dont have a (I forget the name) variable pour valve thing.

You see a lot of people putting the CO2 cyclinder in the fridge I have my cyl under a worktop in the garage and then route the gas pipe up to the fridge. Depends on space obvs. (excuse the mess - it is a garage)

Is this too full?

For those of you that like UK police dramas, this is worth watching. It's been out a little while now - it will scratch your Line Of Duty or Happy Valley itch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0f2cxpr/blue-lights

AG #27 Fuggy Helles - Update Been drinking this for a little while. Thought it had some cabbagey flavours, but feedback from the April? comp was that there we no off flavours. It even scored 38 which I'm pretty happy with. Nice straight out of the keg in the sun.

I see it in mine, not the exact figures, but the the range. And I found this in this thread: https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/vienna-lager-water-profile.97992/post-1116655
