About a Girl - Nirvana :party:

You're up earlier than me on a Saturday! have a good one :cheers:

With all this praise I'll have to give it a go :thumb: If it's not impolite, who is/was Kenny?

Get It On - T. Rex

Very nice. The images to the left of the items in the list seem to not all work - maybe if there isn't an image put 'image not available' or something so it doesn't look like the page hasn't loaded up properly. Otherwise very cool. :thumb:

That's quite respectable then! Glad it all went well and great set of pics :thumb:

Thanks guys. Yeast (S04*1) pitched at 5:35 - that 5 1/2 hours from doughing in - record time! BTW I took about 2l of the first runnings from the mash and reduced them down on the stove to add a bit of caramel character. Fortunately nothing went wrong and I haven't had a shed load of beer...

I had a delicious steak last night, but then I had some delicious beer too! It would have to be meat... :cheers:

My sack of malt came from the Fawcett maltings... That malt they were plodding round in might be the very same stuff as what's in my boiler now!

First brew of the new year. I've ordered more ingredients in, but until then using up the last remaining few bits of what I have left, and am brewing a London Pride-ish bitter. Grist ration MO/Crystal/Choc 95%/4%/1%, target OG 1.042. Using Target for 90min copper hop about 27 IBU, then Goldings...

Just saw episode 1 on iplayer before watching episode 2 later. I have to say I liked the idea of the Yorkshire train pub crawl :cheers:

Cool - might sneak down for some SNPA :cheers:

Ice Machine - Depeche Mode

Looks a nice refreshing pint! Have a good one 8-)

Thanks, I've read that a mild can be ready fairly swiftly - I have left my other brews in the FV for 11 days or so - would this benefit from that long or would a week be OK (assuming the FG is stable)?
