American Pale Ale

After 4 brews of my Twisted Gut APA, which were much enjoyed, I thought it was time to try something a little different. After all, variety is the spice of life.

This brew is on the boil as I type.

-3ºC. Bbbrrrrrrrrr, brings back nasty memories of winter during my time growing up in Holland.
Took me 5 minutes to walk to school, by which time my hands and feet were without feeling from the cold at times.

Much prefer the balmy climate where I now live! 28ºC today. Lovely.
