evening all

[Tea3]

hello everyone

my name is Keith, 41, live and work in Stoke on Trent and have been "into" brewing for just over a year.

my favourite things in life ( edible) are real ales, old fashioned country still cloudy cider and curry.....I usually manage to combine these with one of my other passions which is camping in my VW camper. ( I have met some very interesting people whilst "combining" :party:


so far I reckon i have done about 10 brews....(slowed a litlle in the summer...but I now have a couple readying for xmas.

favourites so far

muntons imperial stout
John Thompson XXX
....and for something a little lighter
cooper canadian blonde.

yet to find a really good cider yet .....did a black rock...left out the sugar for secondary ferment ??? to brew it flat...managed to drink it all :) but it was no Westons Vintage.

cheers all

Working in Stoke I trust you have frequented the "hole in the wall" for the odd dozen oatcakes

Excellent! I'm seriously taken by the T25 now.
Anyway, moving back to beer... what sort of kits you been doing?

 

[Tea3]

started off with the intention of heavy dark beers...Stouts,porters old english bitters....

but whilst I still like them I have developed a taste for strong but light beers...did a summer ale (?) this time round which has proven to be just the ticket.

any recommendations for good pale / blonde but strong beers ...welcomed

cheers

I once had a T25 transporter with the South African lights and 3.5L Audi TDI plant somone had shoe-horned in the black.
On those rare days when it actually worked I swear it would do wheelies!
