This is going down way too easy. There are maybe 20 pints still in the keg but I've a mate calling round tomorrow for the match. That keg will take a battering. Not just blowing my own trumpet here (plus I am my own harshest critic) but this Beamish clone is very close to the original and far nicer than most pints of Guinness available these days. Which probably says more about diageo than my brewing abilities. (Fig rolls are optional)

That looks spot on 👌
Tempted to get some nitro mix. Did you buy a separate regulator

Love it when a keg of beer just seems to hit every thing right only real issue is when it happens I have a tendency to over indulge.
 
Yeah, an ODL one from brew keg tap. £60 but you pay for what you get. That was also the cheapest I seen the ODL one at. Took a minimum of two weeks at 35 psi to carb properly. It's a long wait but worth it. This is honestly one of the best beers I have made. For trying to replicate a commercial beer, the closeness in flavour, aroma, MF etc. Plus using nitro for the first time... extremely happy how it turned out.
 
More of the Tribute clone. Just like the real thing and dare I say better than the bottled supermarket version. Lovely temperature in the garage now for it to be sitting in the pressure barrel. I’m really loving this, first time using it, a nice change from the cold beers from the kegerator. Will definitely keep something like this or a bitter in the barrel from now on, just maybe not during peak summer temperatures. Went to the home brew shop and bought a box of the little co2 chargers for it in case it runs out of gas.

Nitro adds so much, I would love to try it out on other styles too than a stout or red. I am curious how a dubbel on nitro would taste 🤔
 
All lager all the time for me, we need a better classification than just lager though. Lager makes me think Coors light or hieneken, rather than the fantastic Paulaner pilsner.
