Thanks Bob! Welcome to you too! Unfortunately the Carrig Rua and Pier Hotel are both gone now, but Dunfanaghy is still a thriving spot. Don't think I'd fancy cycling up Horn Head. Coming down must have been fun though. I've got my eighth AG brew in the fermenter at the minute. Glad I made the...

I did about 4 or 5 kits last year and they all had that homebrew taste to varying degrees. Very noticeable in one, and less so in others. Some were very enjoyable even if they had a slight twang. I've no idea what causes it, but suspect that it may be to do with how long the kit has been on...

This Mad Cow Stout from GEB has only had two weeks in the bottle, but I gave in to temptation and stuck one in the fridge today. Very happy with this still young beer. 🍻

Enjoying a few early bottles of GEB's Hop On APA from my first AG brew, and a brew of GEB's West Coast IPA is underway. The APA is still pretty cloudy, but it's very drinkable. 🍻🍻

They have a very nice American wheat in their range. Just had my first one at the weekend.

I was at it a few times in it's early years. Good fun it was too. Haven't been in about 20 years now. Gerry McAvoy was playing there at the time and did a very good gig in the local theatre. Not sure if he still attends. As it happens, my wife is a Cork woman who is related to the Gallagher's...

Thanks @samale. You'll be spoilt for choice around here. I like to do a casual bit of cycling too. Just local spins around the country lanes and tracks on my mountain bike. Nothing serious.

Cork Boi! Sorry, I don't understand a word you are saying. 😜

Thanks for the warm welcome all. acheers. I noticed you posting here @Donegal john and wondered whereabouts you were. I'm in the north west of the county near Dunfanaghy. I know of another home brewer in the area, though I haven't met him yet. Not sure if he's on here. I think @Donegal john...

Thanks Rod. Ha ha, yes those things are already on the radar. I'll have to hold back for a few months though. 🍻

Hello all, I've been lurking for the past couple of months now and soaking up as much information as I can. My lovely wife bought me a pre-hopped starter kit for Christmas and I've been fascinated with the brewing process since. Just bottled my fourth kit last night (Festival Razorback IPA)...
