I like brewing for other people's tastes, it's challenging and also gets me out of my comfort zone, moving on and learning new things. My latest challenge is to brew a beer for a lady friend who doesn't like beer. I am looking at a ridiculously low hopped, totally malt forward European style...

Moved out of the UK in 1991, permanently. I would recommend emigration, best thing I ever did, what an adventure. Very very hard, particularly early on but what an adventure. My thread .... never was my thread, I just got the ball rolling. I like banter, the quicker things go off topic the...

Okay, after trying to post three times, I realised that I wasn't logged in, so the like buttons will work now. I have already checked out the silly jokes page.
