Anyway it looks like a wet old weekend in South London so with slim prospects of spraying the fences in cuprinol tomorrow I'm treating myself to what may be my long term favourite beer. BTW @cushyno where you based?

Yes @Donegal john see my previous post. I've been fortunate enough to work with a lot of ladies from Ireland, mainly via Queens in Belfast and they all get their arms behind their back.

True that. My missus is a secondary school teacher and even she has struggled to work out how they will be assessed etc. Hopefully your bairn is different to the lassies he was on about who all turned up with ginties which they were topping up with vodka. I guess for usvit would have been 1...

Eldest just turned 16 a couple of weeks ago and has completed his quasi GCSEs today. He'll be fine and will get mainly A**s but it has been a stressful time with the old covid one nine. I left a few cans of Camden Week Night lying around for him to 'steal' for the after school rite of passage in...

Had one earlier in the thread - wasn't a fan TBH. Fuggles didn't really come through and it was a bit thin (I see from the ingredients they up the ABV with glucose).

Still always surprises me the number of outlets Tadcaster based SS have around the West End and City of London knocking out all of the favourites.

Can't face trying any of the Lidl ones in funky cans and it's gone v chilly out here in the brewcave. Going for a classic.

First Lidl one. Despite having had a Kent postal address for the last 16 years I've never seen this one before.

Kicking off with a Darkstar and a big bag of pistachio nuts.

Based on posts elsewhere in the forum I'm expecting to see a few random Lidl craft ales pop up in this weeks virtual Friday evening session. I even bought a few random ones myself so I wouldnt feel left out.

Just went to Lidl to pick up frozen raspberries to go in my wheat beer and noticed that they have bags of sour cherries in the freezer and they are cheap. When I made a cherry beer 18mths ago had a terrible time finding anything other than the sweet cherries in any of the supermarkets and I...

What do youuse it for ? Im just on my way out to lidl for some frozen raspberries for my wheat beer

Think of all the pubs that will now have cellars full of fresh cask ale ready to dispense on Monday

God knows but I would say not, if you look here it says its made from/ got rice in it. Good for char sui! https://www.yaubros.co.uk/products/dragon-boat-maltose-500g-sug303.html

Maltose is just 2 molecules of glucose bonded together and therefore highly fermentable (its also main constituent of wort)...never used it but imagine it would be like using liquid glucose ie lightens and dries the beer adding gravity points with no non fermentable element to had to body etc

phew thank goodness, from the post's title, I thought a whole lot was going down the drain.

Because any time a keg is discussed its assumed its stolen.

I understand its an issue its just tedious that as soon as anyone posts anything about old kegs people get straight on their sanctimonious high horses.

Just for clarity, maischfest doesn't have a pump either.

In fairness to the OP if the keg came from the brewery and they have kept the cash for the deposit and not pursued it then thats a bit different to theft. People seem to get a bit too agitated about Kegwatch even where people have acquired items either legitimately or in good faith or as is...
