I'm coming back to this thread as it seems pertinent to my new question.... Tagging @samale - as I know that you have some previous doing this. As you may have read before, I have used cold brew a couple of times previously. I currently have a "user upper" porter fermenting and I'd like to...

@Agentgonzo I think there is enough left after Xmas and the father in law, so if you PM me your addr I will get a bottle to you. Cheers

I can, only apologise for my tardiness. Busy week. Cascade Summer Ale. This came needing carbonisation, so I've left it a couple of weeks in the warm. Opened with a small hiss. Hard poured and had a reasonable head which dissipated. May well have benefited from a bit longer in the warm...

I think I commented on my brew days thread on this. My impressions were that it was caramelly with little to no hop character, which is not an issue for me. There is a bit of fuselly heat in there, but nothing too harsh. Might have been my ferment regime. I don't think my brew had any /...

@Griff097 @MickDundee These were my brews. @MickDundee I'm sorry you had a duff one. Both were in PET bottles and both were counter pressure filled from the corny in the same timeframe. We have been drinking the same brew from the corny over Christmas without issue. Both bottles were as...

. Not read through the thread yet. Love Secret Santa. Excited to read everyone's posts. First one of three from this generous Santa. Thank you. Chinook SMASH 5.6% I don't think I've knowingly had a smash up to yet. Nice white frothy head. Hazy Smells a bit hoppy, but not massively...

And like the number 11 bus, two arrive at the same time. From a very generous Santa, a Tribute, stout and a chinook smash. Looking forward to getting these open. Thank you.

SNAP!

This bad boy just arrived today, thank you Santa, but it looks like I may not be able to try it out and review until the new year. And @Alastair70 if you're keeping a track of things, my two went off yesterday, cheers.

I was just saying to SWMBO that I hadn't been online on the brew forum for ages, and then I realised its December, and that means one thing..... so here I am. If its not too late, can you put me down for two bottles please? Many thanks I love Secret Santa

I'm getting through this, although still have a fair few litres left which with any luck will last through til Christmas as the father-in-law will be over and he likes a beer. I dont know why, but the keg beer tastes nicer than the bottled version. The only difference being it had priming...

AG #29 Leffe Radieuse - Update Just under three months on since brewing this. First try of the bottled version of the Leffe Radieuse. First impressions are: Appearance. Browner than I had expected. Nice and clear. The sort of head that I would not expect to last very long. Off white/light...

And a 10.5% Imperial 'Long Levers' to finish. Syrupy.

I happen to be house sitting not far from Siren, so it would be rude not to pop in and sample their wares. Broken Dream Breakfast Stout 6.5%

This is good news..... I had it for a week / 10 days at ambient garage temps, which was actually pretty warm, and then its been at 10c in the fridge since then - so that's pretty much as you suggest. Thank you.
