I was looking at the BrewDog recipes earlier. I'm not a great BD fan - I find them too hoppy for my taste - but, I quite liked the look of their Zeitgeist brew. Anyone tried making it? Or any BrewDog recipes?

Ripped the lid off my latest brew and found this! Thing is, the beer tastes excellent, so I kegged it. Is it going to stay tasting excellent or should I give away as christmas presents to people I don't like..? :nah:

Took the tour around this brewery today - got the tee-shirt to prove it..! It's at Tenterden, Kent, if anyone's visiting the area it passes an interesting afternoon. And the beer's OK. (IMO) :drink:

Brewed this one a couple of weeks ago - a kit I was given last christmas. Time to rack into a clean FV and taste test. Little bit winter spicy, but nothing outstanding. So decided to spice it up a bit. Added: 1/2 tub mixed spice, 1/2 tub each of chopped candied peel - orange, lemon, lime. 3...

Found some of these little monsters - Comma Butterfly caterpillars - on my Fuggle this morning. They love munching on hops apparently, so if you're trying to grow your own, check behind the leaves.

..........of my Bavarian style smoked beer. Rubbed it into the breast & thighs and roasted her outdoors...! She didn't complain...and she was well tasty..! :thumb:

I just finished applying for my 'Crit 'Air Certificate...! Christ..! ..I need a beer..! :doh: If you plan to drive in France any time soon, you'll need to get one of these to stick in the windscreen. - Or face an on-the-spot fine of up to €117. They cost €4.80 p&p incl. Their web...

Finally got around to rigging up this tap. Simple, but nice quality (IMO) for 18 quid. Connects to my corny keg with 3mtrs of 3/16" tube.:thumb:

My first AG brew and I've started drinking it. AG is definitely a step up in overall quality. I'm a great fan of Woody's Wherry, but this is a whole new experience. I feel better now, having invested in AG gear, I know now the expence was worth it. :thumb:

MORRISONS.....! TWO BOTTLES - FAMOUS GROUSE (75cl) = £20 (yep...10 quid each). Or mix n match with other spirits Gordons gin, Smirnoff Vodka, Brandy (think 3 barrels), Rum (can't remember brand), or Bailey's cream liquer. .

Made a rushed purchase the other day and bought an AG 'kit' from these people:http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ellie-claire? A Holy Smoke Rouchbier. Opened it up and noticed the sell by date 'Oct '16. ( best use it then..? ). Then spotted the sell by date had been altered from May16. Close inspection...

Just about to salvage Shepherd Neame trub for the first time, from my latest batch of Wherry. What do you do with yours? How long will it store in the fridge?:confused:

I've got an upright freezer going begging. It's about 15 years old but working perfectly. Mrs. M's fed up with the plasticy drawers inside being broken, so she's ordered a new one. Free to anyone who's willing to collect from near Canterbury.

Just got back from a bottle run to Calais. Bit of a problem driving back to the ferry port, frustrated migrants - en masse - decided to cut through the security fence in several places and sling rocks at the police and their vehicles and anyone else nearby. That caused us to stop in the traffic...

Anyone out there got a Brewster? If so, how are you getting on with it? I'll be making a choice in the autumn - Brewster or Grainfather... seen loads of reviews on the G/F but bugger all on Brewster, except on lovebrewing.com and similar sites trying to flog 'em. (Maybe nobody's got one). Just...
