He gets to taste it. He doesn't get to drink it. Important to taste how a beer changes.

Ha! Classic. Not telling him that.

He found out today that he presents on the 17th of June. That'll be roughly six or seven weeks in the bottle. Should be about spot on.

There are six teachers on the panel grading the work. They will be sampling, but I'll be taking it in. It'll have roughly five weeks in the bottle before then so it should come up well. His numbers were spot on too.

Yeah well he does have the sceince mind and really is more interested in the proccess. Dad's the one that gets to sample it, he doesn't much like the taste of beer. His teachers get to taste it when he does his presentation and we'll have a little piece there about drinking responsibly. Actually...

And today he bottled.

My chocolate oatmeal stout. Really happy with how it came out.

Here in Australia it's 0.05. For our younger drivers it's 0.00, and ever since that became law it has reduced our road toll hugely. Our labels on alcoholic beverages tell us how many standard drinks are in each one. As pictured. But really these laws only stop honest people. Too many people die...

Nail Outmeal Stout. It's so friggin' lovely and drinkable. For those in Australia it's a serious must drink.

Resurgence?

He's watched me make a few batches now and asked if he could make one for a project at school. After getting the approval of his school and parents he and I produced a lager. It was awesome. Here's hoping we produce many more in the future.

Sorry for your loss. Here's raising a glass to James.

"The Hoo" It's beautiful. It's my draught, or draft, whatever, that we bottled a month ago. A fine tipple on a Sunday afternoon.

Just arrived home from 11 days on a cruise ship. Bottling our stout this weekend.

Currently on the island of Mare, in the Coral Sea. This is the local brew. Light and drinkable and 5%. Good times.
