I tried it when it first come into our local 'spoons', thought it was that bad I asked for a change for something else, utter garbage. Unlucky 13 eh.
 
Last 330ml bottle of my GMC pale ale . Sad times ! I will be brewing 4 or 5 times over the Christmas break. I have vic secret , eldorado & mosaic in stock & some Citra , wheat & carapils & some Coopers Aussie pale ale kits. I feel some major tweakage coming on.
 
My Conniston Blue Bird Bitter Clone. Going through some of my 10 year old BYO magazines looking for some inspiration, does anyone use Halcyon or Triumph malt anymore?

My London Bitter. My second ever AG brew. Tastes lovely to me. Best homebrew I have ever made. My first, an American IPA is kegged, but my party tap not arrived, so can't get at it. But at 6%, probably for the best.

Last night I had one bottle of my wheat beer that had been bottled for.... pffft, 46 hours. It was not that bad.

No banana flavour yet even though I brewed at 24c. I cleaned the fermenter and it reeked of cheap foam banana sweets. I did forget to start at around 20 then raise the temp which is what Jamilia says really brings the bendy.

So yeah, I'll probably have another one of them.

EDIT: So today, day 3 in the wheat beer house I did try another bottle and the cheap foam bananas are coming to town. Due to a low mash this beer ended up at 1.005, 5.9% and even after a whole extra day in the bottle that fire is being tamed.

I did plan that I wouldn't touch this until Christmas but it's turning into an advent calendar.

One of my really nice wheats before was amazing at 6 days bottled and it didn't seem to need any time for improvement after that - Be good to know the cut off. Yeah, just had another swig and this is really nice and ice-creamy and definitely better with the yeast in.

First of the night was a chocolate peanut butter stout.
This is rough to the point I am thinking about pouring it out. The smell is of putting and the taste isn't much better. I know it's personal taste but it's hard to describe how bad this is. Has anyone else tried it.
