    FAQ. How do I package a bottle for posting? A small box, around shoe box size or smaller with plenty of bubble wrap is sufficient. This should be within the small parcel category and costs around £3.00 online for 2nd class. Mark the box "fragile". Put your postcode on it as the return address...

    Secret Santa 2024

    Ho Ho Ho, it's that time of year again. If you new to the forum, or haven't been paying attention for the last few years then read on. Otherwise, you know what to do! A few weeks before Christmas you send off a beer to one or two different forum members. You will then get a beer from either one...

    @pilgrimhudd @Twostage all beers safely in hand, thank you both for the extra bottle! I has quite the skinful last night so I’m keeping them for next weekend.

    Good tasting, there is a charge of chocolate rye in the mix. I was going all out for roast flavour on this one, and hit the bullseye. It’s serving on nitro at home and is absolutely delicious. Glad you enjoyed it 🍻

    Oddly enough, I’ve got one user upper brew day left before I move house. I’ve got a fLIck ton of US hops and 1 sachet of MJ California Lager Yeast. A cold IPA was top of the list. My last one came out a storm, much of it got put away on this brew day Post in thread 'Alastair70s brewdays'...

    Not tonight, back home again. Did have two amazing nights out in Doire this week. It’s such an easy trip from Castlerock and you do it on Michael Portillo’s favourite rail line, what’s not to love!

    I’m on the lash in the Halloween capital of Europe. @samale if you’re in town, I’m the only guy in Derry that’s not in fancy dress. Had quite a few of these, the Altbier was the stand out in the lineup.

    @Twostage and @Nottsbeer beers posted on Monday and Tuesday. Should be landing anytime. Both are bottle conditioned so give them a day or two to get over the journey!

    Another French ‘75 on the right for me, with lime this time. Mrs70 is having bubbles without the added gin, sugar and citrus.

    I’ve just knocked up a pair of French 75’s for Mrs70 and me. She had hers in her before I could take a photo!

    Bread ****

    Went to bake some sourdough and discovered a leak under the sink in the utility room. My bannettons were directly underneath and had grown a nasty fungus all over. So I made a sandwich loaf instead. Easiest bake ever; no kneed and an overnight prove in the tin.

    Proper pint of my Irish Stout. It’s tasting a lot like Beamish 🎯

    What are you drinking tonight 2024.

    First pour of my Dry Irish stout on nitro. It’s exactly what I was shooting for, dark chocolate roasted malt flavours all the way. The touch of chocolate rye fills out and rounds off the body and mouthfeel. I’m very happy.

    Having another Guiness in the hotel while watching Peter Finch playing our assistant pro at Castlerock. (Well, she’s her own pro now, joined the tour the day before the video was shot). My mate and appear the flyover of the 8th hole and can be spotted on the 16th when they are playing the 3rd...

    Either this is really good or just really need it. I suspect it’s a bit of both.

    I’ve worked it out, I mixed you and twostage up first time round. Apologies, I’ve got a lot of balls in the air at the minute myself.

    Hydrogen Vs BEV cars.

    No, you’re not missing anything. What is missing is the applications. Given the problems with hydrogen storage and transport, I’ve always assumed it will principally be a local solution. If that is the case, the fleets of hydrogen powered buses and taxis will need to come online at the same time...
