Have you dabbled with the home brew cider?? I got some interesting ABV's with mine - especially the turbo with Champagne yeast. Alas I am now banned from brewing it but hope to get a little stout bubbling this side of summer :)

'Interesting' ABVs! :eek::eek:

A bottle of Jennings Sneck Lifter :)

Made cider when living in Wiltshire with an apple tree out the front, but as a Yorkshireman I prefer bitter. Called in to Barley Bottom in Silsden this morning en route to the Windmills Whizz and collected supplies for the next 25 gallons.

It's sometimes hard to decide whether I'm a runner who brews or vice versa. But I've done my time with the Hash House Harriers in Berlin and Cyprus so it's probably a bit of both.

Opened a bottle of Exmoor Beast. Billed ad mysterious dark ale; hoppy, bitter, chocolatey and a full 6.6% abv :)

Once had a very messy time in the kitchen attempting to juice a few pounds of Granny Smiths and a few more pounds of donated Egremont Russets. I soon realised that a food processor has it's limits and is not the correct tool for this particular job. I ended up with half a barrel of unfermented fetid mush and a bollocking for messing the kitchen up so quickly moved on to Aldi's 100 percent finest apple juice as a starting point.

Ditch the Kenwood. You need a couple of bits of wood in a frame and a car jack.
Brewing is a garage or out-house activity, though I'm a house-husband and so my wife isn't allowed in the kitchen except for making tea in the morning.

No real ale in the house so had to opt for a corona :( the drunken husband came home and decided to 'fix me a drink' whilst I am in my weakened state (yeah right, grovelling more like:rolleyes:) due to his inebriation however failed to recognise the difference between a lime and a lemon so now it's ruined :mad::rolleyes:

Tsk,tsk. Blokes these days, hey?

Wells Bombardier 5.2% :eek: Not quite a pint of Sunshine :(

I like the Exmoor Gold but can't find it round here so maybe it doesn't travel this far North. If anyone spots it let me know :)

A coupla three bottles of Abbot tonight :D

3 bottles of Thatchers Katy Cider, am now in a blissful, floaty-like state, kids and Mrs asleep, house and tv remote is mine:cool:

4 bottles of Spitfire. Currently on the second, but best take it easy as it's Clay Bank East tomorrow :)

Last night:

Bowland - Gold
Bowland - Hunters moon
Thwaites - Wainright
Hopstar - Lush (Quite literally the best cask ale ever, I dare you to disagree ;) )

DT, that line should have been posted on the poetry thread... Awsome...

A Sharp's (of doom bar fame) 6Hop IPA, a Stonehenge Ales 'Sign of Spring' green ale and 2 pints of the ever reliable TT Landlord at the Palace tonight.

I go down to Rock every now and again and stay fairly close (500m) to Sharps Brewery.

A pint of Doom Bar whilst sat in New Polzeath overlooking the sea.... perfect!

Spooky, had a pint of Kelham Island Pale Rider in Lichfield (very nice), then a Lichfield Musketeer (drinkable) and washed them down with a Belgian Gouden Carolus Ambrio (superb).

Moved to Devizes and had far too much wine and whisky. Ran it all off this morning proving the route for the new Collingbourne Ducis 'Bluebell Wood' race being held on 25 April by my old club at Pewsey Vale.

This afternoons ale:

Kelham Island - Grease Band
Nook - Blond
Nook - Best
Allgates - Napoleon's retreat

This evenings brew's

Allgates- California
and the staple Nook - Blond

I am going for a pint of Harvest Pale... Not Tonight though... AT LUNCHTIME :eek::D
