Had my 2nd SS. A faint hiss on opening, and a small head. Very murky looking, I'm sure that was intentional as it's a neipa, no taste of any oxidation wet cardboard. Very hoppy ( too hoppy for me actually). Unfortunately the beer was probably wasted on me as it isn't my favorite style, (I'm to...

Spot on colour, and carbonation, good head today lasted most of the pint, some slight ester notes but a clean taste overall. Very nice pint would have happily had another and would also love the recipe. Not sure on the% anv, but very nice. Thanks Santa.

2nd beer arrived safely, Thanks Santa.

Meant to post the other day. Thanks Santa for the beer

Put me down for 2 please, and thanks.

I have used Murphy's this year, I was happy with the service and the report. I had worked out my own water additions several years ago, the report for bitters wasn't hugely different than I had calculated ( which I liked) it did also give profiles for other beers, again I liked that. Overall it...

Norfolk Belge Good psst on opening Nice head lasted all the way down Chocolate under tones Good carbonation, on style. Very rich dubbel flavors with portish undertones, Very nice and warming. Good Christmas beer. Didn't taste heavy even at 7.7% Very nice beer thanks Santa.

Santa has been busy, arrived 5 mins after the first. Thanks Santa

Thanks Santa, arrived safely and as I was expecting a different parcel it was a very nice surprise.

My 2 have been sent.

Well I just tasted it, and it tastes like beer, and retook a hydrometer reading and it's down to 1012 ( my tilt hasn't shifted), so I would say the issue has been sorted. Maybe patience and all that!

started at 20°C bumped to 21°C, haven't tested it in the past 4 days, so will try it and see.

I brewed one of my standard beers last week (recipe below), but decided I would add porridge oats this time to increase haze and mouthfeel. Mashed for around 60 mins and boiled for 90mins. Used S-05 (yes it was past it's BBE by a few months), would normally use a fresh yeast and make a...

Thanks @Alastair70; highlight of the year. Put me down for 2 please, and thanks again
