    What' the most memorable (not necessarily in a good way) pub you've ever drunk in...?

    Probably Nicks,have had that before in other pubs in Edinburgh but she was freakiest of the lot.Turned to speak to a mate in one bar and another younger female done the same and said "cheers mate" and kept drinking. Some decent bars are available in Edinburgh when can get back in them .

    Feeling Hoppy

    Yes Pablo,I was thinking if left to full ferment then added the priming sugar it would end up at about 12 to 15 %.Hoping now that will be around 8 or 9% after second ferment.The gushing I know about so hoping a long condition will help that.It was 1.012 for two days running so will just have to...
