I must admit, I'm not great at building up stashes. When I start drinking a new brew (usually around 40 pints), I always think "I'd better get a new kit". I started my Mangrove Jacks Juicy Session IPA last weekend and as I write this, my FV and other bits are sterilising before I start Beerworks' Golden Rocket Strong Pale Ale off this afternoon. I only drink at weekends (and don't touch my home brew if I'm away or out), so on this basis, I never run out of beer, but If I've got enough bottles, I think I'll try and get another brew started very soon to build up for the summer. I have still got a couple of bottles of St Peters Cream Stout (to which I added coffee), from more than a year ago, simply because I wanted to see how they matured. They are fantastic!
