dandan, get that first mash done tomorrow, then get another couple done in quick succession so things get chance to mature.

I've just had a Mole AG#1 (darkish ale) closely followed by an AG#2 (session Bitter).
They really are improving now.

And then I thought it might be interesting to try a Young's Definitive Bitter.
OMG! Big Mistake!!!
First thought: Yes, that's fairly bitter....
Second thought: Not much body though....
Then my tongue stuck out, my cheeks tried to distance themselves from my gums and my tastebuds recoiled in horror as I got chemicals and tin cans all rolled into one.

Sorry dandan, once you cross over there's no way back.


Edit: It's ok, my tongue's friends with me again, I've cleansed my palate with a Bruichladdich 'Rocks'.

Oh dear, well I´ve had a litre of l*g*r by the pool, then a couple of glasses of vino tinto (Don Simon, 95c a litre) with a Mediterranean salad on an Atlantic balcony, then a rather large Anis Seco with Limon.

Life can be a bummer at times :lol:

Too hot now, siesta time, then start again later :party:

Falafael's shot at Llannige's atomic lemon, Falafael's Fruity Bitter, and Fala's Blackcurrant Infusions (Tea) Wine. I was lucky enought to buy a few DJs from Fala today, and I took him 2 bottles of beer too. I came away with the 6 DJs I paid for, plus another one, a 75cl bottle of the Blackcurrant Infusions Wine, bottles of: Atomic Lemon, Fruity Bitter, Victorian Bitter, another Geordie Bitter and a Lager (I forget which). Top deal if you ask me - cheers Fala! :
