We’re you going to send your smoked porter Hoddy? I actually had that in the Christmas swap

Yeah I was but time just ran away from me. I’ve got a few projects on at the moment which are taking up allot of my time. Good job I didn’t as you know what it’s like anyway

I want to give it a go.

I’ve never tried putting stuff like oak chips and coconut in a beer.
