I tend to brew batches, my latest 2 are just spending a few days in the cool garage before I crack one open Munitions Smugglers Special Ale and A Mangrove Jacks Craft Series New Zealand Pale

Sometimes I wish I read things more carefully. I’ve bought a Mangrove Jacks and wanted to read the details so I opened the packet upon which I discovered that it wasn’t a separate packet for the malt extract. I’m due on holiday next week so either I store the malt extract and mix it into a...
