KugaWestie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This is my Second brew. Aussie Lager, it has come out at 5.7%, and was bottled on 16th July 2013. Tastes lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 KW, if you brew a bitter you can send me some for taste testing. About 9 gallons will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I suppose they'll do. I'm nearing the completion of our renovation. Then I'm going to build a small bar. I have a hand pump and 3 good bar stools, so it may be good. My carpentry skills are zero but no one will notice after 6 pints and then we can enjoy ourselves for the rest of the night.

Carpenter Chr7s Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Norman You should have said you wanted a bar making. Done lots!! Building them & leaning in them!!- could have done it while we were there(before wine o'clock) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Chris, even if I had thought of it I wouldn't have been so rude as to ask. Anyway, I want to do it myself so I can say "I did that". At least everyone can laugh. Our current guests (two brothers and wives) have gone to the show tonight. I'm waiting to see what they think. I was sorely tempted to go again but HM just knew I was thinking that and said NO before I said anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have just had a minor kegging disaster! I washed out the keg and sterilised it prior to filling, and forgot to close the tap before decanting the latest brew into it. I started the decanting and went upstairs to the kitchen to get a measuring spoon and mixing spoon to administer the finings, and when I got back down to the basement there was beer all over the floor of the bar area! After I'd mopped it all up and washed the floor, I estimate at least two precious pints had been swilled down the drain. As my dear old Mum used to say: "More haste, less speed!"
