Picked up a Ninja Foodi Max dual zone 9.5L air fryer at the weekend that was going for a r a decent price, to replace the Aldi once that was getting old. It's really good : much better and the dual zone is very useful. Seems to cook much quicker than our old one and Crisp stuff up really well.

As do I. Works well in English ales.

Yes, I frequently buy beers for "research" . Some, I find I have to research again, and again, and again. :D

Muntons Connoisseur Lager. Or was it pilsner? Can't remember. It was absolutely dreadful in every way possible. Brown not golden and more twang than Brenda Slaggs knickers.

Theakstons Best isn't so bad for keg. Would be good to see what guest cask they have on. Wrexham lager is legendary : used to share a house with a lad from Oswestry) big Wrexham fan) who had many a Wrexham Lager based tale. athumb..

Fun fact, Batemans once did a bottle conditioned ale exclusively for Booths, who insisted on it being bottle conditioned, which annoyed the Batemans head brewer at the time as he was of the view that the Batemans yeast wasn't really ideal for bottle conditioning. This was way back in the early...

I've no idea really, but the way I look at it is that it's not the most expensive hobby in the world, is enjoyable, and unlike my other hobby, it gives me free beer.

I used to use Brewers Friend but switched to Brew father which I find better and grows with you as you tailor your process to suit.

Hello, welcome to me to the forum and welcome back to brewing.

I have used it in a variation of a 1920s Boddingtons IP recipe. Initially after conditioning it wasn't great, but evolved after a couple more weeks into something quite nice. It was a very blonde ale, and I suspect it would have been better in a darker beer. With fining, it drops completely clear.

Mmm... Any ideas? 🤣

Evil government. Gong back in time to build Victorian sewerage outflows then deliberately making it rain so they get used. Booooooo Boooooooooooooo!!!

Also, glad you survived the bang athumb..

Looks like it was a bit of a pig, but if you've ended up with 3 old brew days worth, then it still has to have been less effort, and it will get better just like it did last time.

Both OK. The first is best . Nothing in the box has really blown mynd yet.

So, last one tonight from the Lidl box, then I really must have an ale. Number 3 - Malty, but with a bit more bitterness perhaps? Sweeter than the other two, but not as... erm... Malty 🤣

Next up. Also Malty. 🤣 I'm not sure I'm the man to review German beers.
