Had to move my pb this morning as I've got the builders in this week (stop it).
Obviously this meant I needed to check a) it was carbing up ok in the barrel and b) that it tasted ok
It still looked like swamp water but then it's only been in the barrel a week and it's a bottom tap, so no concerns there.
It smelled like a strong boddingtons, and tasted even more like a strong boddingtons. Promising, though mildly annoying as I am planning a boddies clone. That's going to be much more of a 10L batch of session beer though so I'm not too concerned.
The hbc pale has got another week in the house then out to the shed for another two before I get into it proper. More to follow then.
