Zapiain cider made since 1596 which might explain the barnyard aroma but I'm loving it.

Ordinary Bitter from my bag in a keg, nice creamy head but not as clear as would like. Floating dip tube an impossibility so will have to grin and bear it.

My starter for the Coopers Sparkling is finished and tucked away in the fridge for my final build added a third of a teaspoon of Vegemite to give it a bit more Oomph.

A 3.7% Dark Mild

I struggle to understand why their are so few commercial examples of Dark Mild available, it’s cheap to make, fairly low alcohol and yet full of favour.
Not fashionable. It's why Bitters get called "amber ales".
Milds are associated with whippets and pigeons.
 
I made a mild when I was into brewing before and I liked it. I'd be interested in the recipe.
I’m pretty certain the recipe was originally a Graham Wheeler one I slightly modified (but can’t remember which one), but it’s below if you’re curious.

The Greg Hughes Recipe is also pretty good.

You are likely right, I like 6% IPA’s and 10% Imperial Stouts well enough but sometimes I like to be able to drink two or three pints and not wake up with a hangover.
