10gallons of "best" to bring total to 28,096.25 gallons

Here in the UK Adnams has a duel strain it uses, can't tell you which two but a bit more from them on it here: https://adnams.co.uk/about/news/beer-news/yeast-is-yeast/

Just ordered my ingredients and l I've been growing some Adnams yeast from a mini cask of Broadside so I'm looking forward to seeing what that'll spit out!

If you want to reap the rewards of MY labour you have to feed/beer me while I brew. I have a habit of forgetting to eat or drink while brewing and have gone till 7pm before noticing how weak I felt (although that was a very busy 3 brew day) but usually it hits around 3pm when it's only me.

I know right(?) going to Japan in a couple of weeks on holiday so though I'd try and get into it but at this rate I'm on cola for the whole time! (Still got the food to look forward to though!)

Got served this the other day, Andwell Gold Muddler, and it was funky, was quickly replaced when I pointed out the split, but that was the worsted pint I've ever had! When I got a 'clean' pint it was very good though!

Don't know if it counts as "craft" but I'm currently choking back an Asahi (Japanese) that smells of, bad, over cooked cabbage. Tastes fine, but that smell... Can't get over it!

I did a pale with 3 lemons, well zested, in 6 gallons and it was so nice and fresh I've got a double batch fermenting now. I add the zest to secondary for two weeks. And zested after a quick soak in starsan! Really recommend that! EDIT: also that was my third batch.

Thank you, that's exactly what I meant, forgot my US audience. I did have a good laugh at the misinterpretation though. Maybe a collection of old boots would be good in my 'TRUNK' to stop the bottles knocking about as I drive off?

I've been known to raid bins on my way out of pubs and fill my boot with them, and think to myself "well they were just goin' to throw them away"

I just finished a batch I started this saturday but had to stop post sparge due to events out of my control. Only boiled this evening after work and pitched about 30 mins ago so I guess I'll find out the hard way, I hope I don't have to dump it, but time will tell, fingers crossed.

The Tesco website categorises beer as: Beer Bitter and stouts Lager So what goes where? That is on the mobile site though so i hope it's just an error there but doubt it. Now I know I didn't 'over hear it' but its still pretty funny!

When I was younger we used to joke, "you can't beat Stella, 'coz Stella beets your wife", and I still know loads of folk with a bad opinion of it from stereotypes like that But the new classier(?) adds are doing a lot for its reputation with them. But hey if they're drinking beer solely on its...

So reviving a really old thread (waste not want not?) I just had my first bottle bomb, about 20 mins ago actually. Admittedly i did prime to 3.6 vol/Co2 and this was one of 5 not in suitably strong bottles (the other 4 were drank as the priming went on.) I know stupid of me to use $hi##y...

Any new thoughts on this? I've seen a few recipies but they're all so varied I can't pull a best of/middle ground together I really want to brew one, defiantly my favourite larger (if not beer).

In the UK mine are doing amazing, they have both breached the 7 foot mark already! I'm so looking forward to the harvest, a half ton of Fuggles and Goldings are coming my way :D

Oh god yes! My girlfriend threw a party yesterday and I was providing the beer, now every one is more than happy to drink it all but if I want to talk about it, at all, then Im boring and obsessive? How is that fair? Suppose that is rant over now.

Just an interesting fact on these, back in Uni I one got a friend to use an old, well used one as a beer bong. He was not happy when he realised 😆

+6 Cream ale +6 French Saison +6 Weissbier +7 American Brown Ale +6 Cream of 3 Crops 21,504 + 31 = 21,535

For my 2p on the matter every other week or so my Girlfriend comes back from uni with a few bags full of empties that she's collected for me from the folks down the road she stays on, doesn't ask, just goes on "drunken 3am hunting trips". and she hasn't had any issues yet! Then she's annoyed...
