You are pretty prolific at the moment Franklin.

A week off this next weekend as we're away for a long weekend :)
Two Crates (20 bottles each) will be going as gifts at Christmas, so my prolificness has a reason.
Next up might be a Liquorice Stout as I've got some powdered liquorice root, I also need to fill a Cornie with an easy drinking Stout, after that I will have to do a distinctly hoppy number with a rather large bag of Centennial :)
