clapa Well played!!

Hello, are any of these still available. I'm not far from Carshalton.

Sorry for being slow with replying, I've been living in the french Alps for the last 6 months with limited internet access and not doing any brewing. With the Exp 102/44 hop i definitely got more floral flavours from it than citrus, so might work for what you want, think I've got a bottle...

Anyone up for a midweek evening meet-up/bottle swap perhaps in a week or two?

Sorry to hear it didn't work out as planned for you, you kindly PM'd me a while back saying I'd be welcome to come look around which I intended to do but sadly never got around to (and rudely didn't reply...sorry). I've just accepted a job overseas otherwise would have been possibly...

Already brewed a beer with a group of friends to mark this occasion... we called it "Farage EU C**t"

Sounds good, I'm bottling another IPA (Chinook, Citra & Sorachi Ace) on Sunday. So if that's all gone well I'll have another option ready in a couple of weeks. Quite possibly my last batch for a while though as I'm moving to the French Alps for 6 months at the beginning of November, which on...

Bloody hell, that doesn't sound good. I was over a couple of weeks ago and fortunately didn't have any issues. Been through a few times having to avoid characters walking down the side of the road but nothing much worse than that. Good to hear you and the beer made it away unscathed.

Wow that looks super dark in the picture, more like a Black IPA. Was only joking about them using scraps, so that's a bit worrying. Be good to know if they come back to you as to what they think it should be like.

Gave the hop tea a go yesterday, all seemed fairly straight forward using a cafetière. Now just a couple of weeks in the bottle to see how it panned out.

I had this with my latest brew. sample I took at bottling tasted fine, been in the bottle for a week and had an early taste and it was still drinkable. Pretty sure it's going to turn to vinegar eventually but between now and then I'm going to drink a "healthy" amount.

Everything the misses says sounds like "glub-glub" but it's nicer hearing it from the FV
