My Golden Ale. Probably only another pint left. Another one to add to the list of 'brew again'.

Hi @Brew_Stu - I work (and used to live) in EK. Welcome to the forum! They're a good bunch on here - helped me out loads since I joined.

@Kentish Mike and @Moe - The Six States NEIPA was my brew. Thanks so much for your great reviews, I'm over the moon. The recipe was from Jon Finch's Beer Craft, scaled down to an 11L batch, and tweaked to suit available malts: 3k Pale Ale 150g Pale Wheat 50g Crystal Extra Light 150 Flaked Oats...

At last, my review of my 2nd SS - Son of a Nutcracker Festive Red Ale at 6.2%. Apologies to the sender for the delay. I used a nucleated pint glass for this one. It poured with a perfect off white head that remained until the last sip. The colour was a brilliant deep reddy copper brown and...

My replacement 2nd ss arrived this morning. Thanks very much to the sender for posting another bottle - much appreciated. I probably won't get a chance to sample for a couple of days due to hogmanay and new year's day festivities. Very looking forward to it though! 👍

I have to admit to standing in a queue yesterday morning at my local Aldi to get bottles for my 9 year old. The things you do for them 🙄 It was a very British affair though - the doors opened at 8am and everyone was then informed that till number 1 would be for Prime only, so the whole queue...

I'm drinking my effort of Tropical Stout - down to my last bottle now. As much as I'm enjoying it, it's made me realise that it's way below the quality of the other efforts received in the Winter Brew And Swap. However.... my spare under-counter fridge is now set up with an inkbird and heat mat...

No wonder the keg got a hammering - it was delicious! Thanks for sharing 👍

At last, I got time to drink my secret santa beer - an American Amber Ale at 5.5% ABV. Opened with a nice pssst and poured with an off-white fluffy head that dissapated after a few minutes. Carbonation was perfect for me. I noticed, when topping up the glass after my first swig, that there is...

First chance to collect my ss bottles from the depot today. Unfortunately one didn't make it out alive. It smells lovely too. No idea what it was as the label was just mush. The other one, an American Amber, was surprisingly crystal clear despite the handling it would have received by Royal...

Another of my Lidl purchases. This is lovely and does exactly what it says on the tin. Really enjoyed all the beers from Loch Lomond Brewery so far. Will need to look into where they're located and pay a visit next time I'm in the area.

First pour of my hazy IPA from my 5L keg. Very moresome but need to lay off it as it's coming up to the in-laws on Christmas day to be shared with the brother-in-law.

Only half a working day to go to finish for the festive holidays, and I'm working from home, so it's beer time. Picked up these two in a Wine & Spirits shop while being dragged around the shops in Glasgow yesterday - every cloud.... And the labels just slid off the bottles after being...

Just got home from work to a little red royal mail card saying they'd attempted delivery of 2 items. I've got a feeling its my secret santa beers. I've to collect at the depot the next working day, but if course, tomorrow's a strike day as well as Saturday. I won't be able to drink my beers for...

Still no deliveries for me. I've noticed that mines have been received though.

Another shout out to the CML team - Steve personally delivered my order this morning to ensure that I (and others in the Glasgow area he was also delivering to) had my ingredients before Christmas. Much appreciated! The first sign of decent brewing weather over the festive holiday, I'll be...

Definitely a theme going on with my brew! 😄 Thanks for the feedback @Stu's Brews - I think I know what to do for my next effort! 👍

Bohemian Pilsner and Citra hops please!

I won a box of beers in my company's advent calendar competition. Didn't realise what the Small Beer Company was all about until I got the box home and noticed the ABV on each bottle. Despite all beers being below 2.8%, I'm actually enjoying them. Nice couple of half pint glasses included too...

Did you follow the recipe exactly? Temperature increases, yeast etc?
