Couldn't resist checking out how my cream ale is conditioning. Had nearly 2 weeks in the bottle. Looking very clear and is carbing nicely. Hopefully the next few weeks will see it improve...although it is doing well I think it's still under what's expected. Taste wise I'm very surprised by this. I wasn't overly excited when bottling but the taste has improved (for my preference). It's not very bitter but easily something I could drink on a hot summer day. Can't really describe the taste so very curious how others will rate this. No head formed when pouring (pic 1), but did form when aroused (pic 2....beer not me 😂😂), tho it didn't last long. 🍻

Have the groups been drawn up for the Cream Ale bottle swap? I think the idea was everyone would be put into groups of 5 and we were to send a bottle out to the 4 other members in the group. Just nervous I may have missed a post on this…?
 
Forgot to count myself in as well. Looks like there’s 7 by my rather unreliable finger counting. How many bottles do people want to swap, I’m thinking sending out 3 or 4 is probably about right?
Shall we send our addresses to you Alister, and you let us know who to post to? My bottles are ready....biggest challenge now is getting to the post office when its open 😂
 
@Stu's Brews in too, sorry I knew that, I just had a few fingers counting issues.
That’s going to make the swap easy to work out. Im about to get on a plane, I’ll make a plan in the air. If anyone wants to run a randomised and post 2 groups of 4 in the meantime, fire away.
 
I'm happy to do that.

With the assistance of my kids, I have groups of:

G1 - @RichardM
@Lodinisr
@Tanglefoot
@Broken Toe

G2
@pilgrimhudd
@Alastair70
@Stu's Brews
Notts beer

Maybe people PM their address to others in your group? Hopefully I haven't missed anyone....I did end up having Tanglefoot in both groups after the draw, kids no better than UEFA with their efforts😂😂
