Ok, looks like it’s the following.

@Stu's Brews
@Nottsbeer
@pilgrimhudd
@SMP Brewery
@Mayor of Simpleton
and myself.

Swaps to follow!

I haven’t tried mine for a while so I’ve no idea if it’s any good but if I need to decide now, add me to the list too.

 

[Alastair70]

You’re in. I’m watching the finale of the first series of the brilliant Cold Horses on Apple TV. I’ll start shaking the magic 8-ball once Gary Oldman has flushed out the last bent spy.

 

[Alastair70]

Oh, that's the best TV I’ve seen for a long time. If you like Le Carré then definitely it’s one to watch, George Smiley gets a namecheck in the dying moments and Gary Oldman steals every scene he's in.
Anyway, back to more important matters, we have seven people swapping. As usual, exchange addresses amongst yourselves where necessary and you don't need to wait to the weekend to post a review.

Without jumping ahead has anyone got a suggestion for the next style

 

[Alastair70]

Next brew was the slow burner.
Impy stout, brew now and swap at end of October.
Is there an appetite for squeezing in an extra one?

How about another rye IPA, I’ve got gallons of the stuff!

I was thinking an English bitter

I could do both, an imperial stout plus another style. As said above maybe an English style

I always have an English bitter on tap so that would work for me any time.

Just sampling one based on your recipe

 

[Alastair70]

Ok, we can swap English Bitters at end of June. But the entry requirement is you have to brew an Imperial Stout for the October swap first.
How does that sound?

Sounds good to me. I have an imperial stout in the fermenter at the moment and will have brewed many kegs of bitter by June.

I am definitely in for the imperial

 

[pilgrimhudd]

I'd like to brew a bitter but I don't know if I can be arsed to brew an Imperial, I may change my mind though...

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Just to be difficult.

 

[Stu's Brews]

I'm good to do both. I can imagine more people being up for doing a bitter though so wouldn't be averse to people only doing that swap in June.

Same here. I would like to do a bitter, but an imperial stout doesn't do it for me.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

My opinion would be an English bitter is way too normal, and doesn't push people out of their comfort zone or get them to brew something they wouldn't otherwise.

We already have an imperial sweet stout, but it's the husband's brew and had nothing to do with me, so not fair to send that.
