Oh and it's sheeting it down I'm SE London and far too warm..

Retired to the brewcave to 'wrap my presents' surely this 18 month old barley wine will see the Covid off.

Getting the ham on alas got the covid so this is the nearest I'll get to heading up to Cumbria this year.

Sounds good - one of best things I did on the go anywhere last year was just thickly sliced pork tenderloin rubbed in the A & O char sui served with stir fried pak choi from garden ( which is very easy to grow from early spring) and egg fried rice. Kids would gave eaten it every night and...

@BenParr was perusing your Camden pale recipe having received the keg that email. Couple of corrections- in the preamble it talks about geldings- think this narrative relates to a different beer. In the dry hop you have IIRC correctly citra twice ethereal I assume one should be simple. Out of...

Just sampling and bottling a few vanilla bourbon stouts pretty much GH recipe done about 11 months ago. Not bad, the harsh JD taste long since mellowed.

OOh I've not had a brew day for ages and bought a few kits some weeks ago to try and rediscover my mojo but not had the motivation to even make up a kit. One of them is the razorback so may clock off early and get this on. For anyone who has done this one does it take long to come good or more...

Great I'm at 12c also have good length of 3/16 line so will give it another go and report back later.

May I also ask what temperature your beer is at?

I'm wondering if I have been opening the pressure release too impatiently. Gonna give it some more trial and error later.

Morning iTap users. Had a first go with my new iTap yesterday and have to say I was disappointed with the amount of foaming. Most online reviews/ experiences on here suggest the product works very well. So far I have tried using same gas supply for both the CO2 on the tap and the keg and also...

My take on Sarah Hughes Ruby mild - wearing a couple of pints of it too having failed to get to grips with the recently purchased itap.

Surely can't be many better supermarket ales sub 1 pound 50

Just nipped out to post some chilli's to my FIL and dropped into Sainos perhaps subconsciously influenced by some of today's earlier threads. This is the sort of basket that has the divorcees following you round the supermarket...

Dunno but one Christmas the only text I got Christmas morning was "from all your friends at kebab ye" on the high Street.

Likewise one of the supermarkets will be knocking out a litre of grouse for 15 quid

Specifically at Christmas time I observe the following traditions: 1. First Sunday in December I mine-sweep the drinks cupboards and any bottles with less than a third in them I see off to make room for new supplies. 2. Fortnum & Mason cream sherry. Wif'es mate gets a hamper from work each...

As others have said, common in the accountancy profession. Occasionally where I have hired people who have passed their exams but are still in training contracts we have had to buy them out i.e. reimburse them for the clawback their employer will exercise on them leaving. Similarly if someone...

I have the Blichmann v2. Not been that impressed TBH. Maybe user incompetence but I always seem to get beer everywhere, get loads of foaming even at low temperatures for all but the least carbonate dof ales. Just taken delivery of the Boel iTap so looking forward to nipping off home early and...
