That looks like a decent pint. I've got the same book in the man cave, might give it a go too..!
Bishops finger is one of my favourite beers i wish i could find it at 66 pence per bottle.
...come on chippy...you could do a good clone for less than that!

Did some bottling from keg earlier and ended up with a part fill of a beer fermented with wild yeast harvested from the back garden. Pale malt and carapils, hopped with HBC 431. Clean and lemony Saison character from the yeast. I have the same beer fermented with MJ M44 to compare.

Yes, I agree, the clues are easy on the Brewery website. It will be something like 90% Pale malt and 10% Crystal - probably fairly dark Crystal or some a bit light, some very dark?
Hops will be - let's think now, oh! East Kent Goldings. Fairly bitter it is, so maybe to something like 40 IBU's? Probably a little light on finishing hops by contemporary HB standards.
5% for the draught and 5.4% for the bottled beer, so it says.
Brewing software facilitates the recipe. The final product is quite yeast driven with this style (as usual). Is there a bottle conditioned Shepherds Neame beer? I have a vague recollection that there may have been one within living memory?
Had a second bottle this evening of a Vanilla Bourbon Stout (Greg Hughes) bottled on 3rd November last year. There is still a fair "whoosh" of whisky after nine months, but I was a bit heavy handed with the bottle of Bourbon, bought especially, since I am not a great fan of spirits.
Another 3 months, perhaps?

That sounds about right Slid. The bottle conditioned Sheps is their 1698. I cultured up the yeast from a bottle of it a while ago using Myqul's recipe. It worked really well and the ferment went brilliantly. But what a beast it is..! It went bananas. I used a Wherry kit and just swopped the yeast but it tasted like all Sheps brews, with that certain background twang you always get with all their bitters - the one that tells you...yep.....that's a Sheps brew...

Homebrew is 30p a bottle but I don’t take it to a pub and drink it.
My bottleshop/ micropub Has a great atmosphere and is full of likeminded people whom have an appreciation of good beer and like a chat, and it gives me a couple of hours peace from the grandkids and wife. So I don’t mind the extra cost.
Mind you, based on that mark up, I think I’ll start a bottleshop of my own, mmmmmm!.!?.
