Very nice shiney by the way :thumb:

Forget the shiney...... I want one of these for the summer :lol: :lol: :lol: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0071757902

Great. I might try this one. What was the original recipe. Is it in GW's old book? :thumb:

I think you had Sandyback Gold too. You can tell which one it is from the classy label :lol: :lol:

There's a guy selling blue flip tops on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/48-NEW-330ml-BEER ... dZViewItem) and another guy who sells german slender style flip tops 20 in a crate.(http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/schizoid-man0/) I've bought the ones from Schizoid-man0 and they were great. Also had some...

Although I've never done one from extract with grain and hops, plenty of American brewers including Jamil Zainasheff (top notch medal winning Home Brewer who has written "Brewing Classic Styles") do brew like this and seem to get award winning beers. I've bought a couple of tins of Marris Otter...

With 2007 tippexed out :lol: :lol: :lol:

Phew!!! Just made it back, it was scary :o :o Tasted the Crossbreed. No "chemical" taste just a big bitterness that lingers. I think that because the hops were old then the flavour has diminished and therefore only the bitterness comes through. You'll have to try. Also tried Sandyback...

Maybe you should try one out of the keg to see if it's different. I did bottle that from the keg so it may have picked something up on the way. I'm going in the garage to test again. Yes I'm going in the garage Wez, I may be some time !! :lol: :lol: If I don't respond in 10 mins call the...

PS. As long as it passes the Feck Test I don't care what it tastes like :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the review. :thumb: Nice pint glass, where do you get that from :lol: :lol: Well, I've got over half a keg of it left as I'm ok with it but agree with Wez, it's got an aftertaste BUT it's never got worse but is still drinkable. Maybe my malt was a bit old (nearly 9 months to 1...

Pour another pint, I'm on my way !!

My substitute would be Brewdog IPA. Could I have six please :pray:

Mine would be 1. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale 2. Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted 3. Meantime Cologne Style Lager (Kolsch)(Sainsbury's Taste the dfifference range) 4. Budweiser......BUDVAR of course!!! 5 Adnams Explorer

Have a good one :cheers: Nice to see you're updating your blog at last :thumb: :thumb:

Try some "Natrasleep" or some other so called herbal remedies in that section. They all usually contain hop extract or valerian extract. I've tried it and it seems to work ok. Get some quite vivid dreams sometimes too :shock: On a side note, it usually the alcohol that keeps disturbing...

Why don't you try a Kolsch? Ferment like an ale and then lager at low temp for a couple of weeks. Try the Cologne style Lager from Sainbury's "Taste the difference" range brewed by the Meantime Brewery in Greenwich. Would be interesting to see how someone else's turns out. :thumb:

You just reminded me to taste that bottle you gave me. Quite sweet and sherry like :thumb: You can taste some raisin in it. Nice dessert wine :thumb:

MMMmmmm nothing like homemade pie :thumb:

I've found that bottles have become thinner over the past year or so. Some maybe the same shape but the industry is trying to be greener with glass usage and the weight of freight. Anyway, "good" bottles that most homebrewers use (I presume) and that most real ales come in tend to weigh 370 -...
