Sharpie with the date number on the bottle-top. Date number and cap colour then defined in brew database. Ordinary sticky labels from the Post Office for the few flip-top bottles.

Personally I've solved the yeast starter conundrum by never bothering with one! :D

That's good to hear; obviously they've had a change of heart. I see their website has been updated with new opening hours, previously it had said the shop was closed. A lot more convenient for me that trailing over to Julie's Homebrew in Newton Heath.

If you go by the evidence of home-brew shops, they seem to be closing in droves. I know there's plenty of online suppliers, but then again, there always was.

Of course the correct thing to do with parsnips is make stout! :D I have recently scaled up my recipe so as to use four packets of parsnips instead of three, and with care, I can just fit that into my stockpot. That will give me around 18 bottles per batch.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that, but it seems they are offering a delivery service via their website, but whether that is just a question of trying to dispose of existing stock, or they hope to continue thus in the long-term, I don't know.

Please read post #14 after you read this they may be still open - Admin. My local home-brew shop. I've been a customer ever since I started brewing again seriously. After all, I figure, if you don't support your local shop... Drove over there on Tuesday, and all shut up. Oh well, that's...

My Made With Oatmeal oatmeal stout. Coming on a treat, 31 days in the bottle, will obviously benefit from longer, but all good so far. Seems a bit more successful than previous efforts with porridge oats.

Very envious! :D

Trying this oatmeal stout, ridiculously early (16 days in the bottle). But delighted on how it's coming on. This is the one made with actual oatmeal.

I didn't have the patience for Bodies. Ì watched Dark, and thought it was brilliant, but Bodies, not so much.

Not the kind of thing I usually listen to, but lately I've been quite obsessed by these three wonderfully talented women.
