Craft Beer Co in Covent Garden-thank me later

Cheriton Porter from a pub near me. Absolutely stunning

Notlaw, my old man is from Preston (I'm an honorary North Ender) but I've not been drinking there in ages and am glad to hear there are some top ale spots.

I technically started in 2009 with a Kilner kit (it was awful!) and, after two years in South Korea I returned home and decided to try making my own but to do it 'properly.' 2012 to 2014 was a lot of kits and a mini bit of BIAB before I took the plunge in 2015 and built a MT and bought a 33lt...

I've heard that freezing the growler ahead of filling it (via a tube) is best practise.

To keep going with the off-topic-but-interesting: a friend of mine who is a New Yorker absolutely loved British ale when he came to visit. His words: "There's a subtlety and a character there that we just try and overdo; metaphor?" Disclaimer: this was after six pints of HSB

I was at this amazing beer festival in Brick lane on Saturday (sore head this morning) and charmed the girl behind one of the bars to let me have a free growler (stop s******ing at the back, there.) Now: what do I do with it? If I were to fill it from the kegerator wouldn't the beer just go...

I'd say it's pretty viable.

Damn you! I have kegerator envy.

Hey guys, half-term is here and I'm planning on brewing a hoppy as hell pale ale. I have some pilsner malt and was planning on using this (4.5kgs) plus a little bit of crystal and cara red to get a nice rouge colour. How much should I use? Hops are Slovenian and from the competition run by...

I do love that reply; the thought of someone drunk and typing through a gauze of smoke just gets me chuckling. She clearly belongs to the puritanical part of American society: the ones who are scared that someone, somewhere could be having fun.

This is already climbing out of the jar! Decanted to a sterilised DJ

It seems to be the same shtick each time. What a desperately sad individual.

Cheers MyQul, all done. We'll see how it progresses
