i still think itll taste like rat pss but time will tell !
If it tastes like rat piss, then I have the perfect graphic for your bottle labels. It was drawn by a friend at work around 1992, for a yellow light ale which was actually called "Rat Piss". I might brew it again one day, but feel free to use it.

Excellent :twisted: Did you happen to take the OG?
i did......1100 :shock: :twisted:

However........ this was no way a real reading, the smoothie is so thick that the hydrometer just sat on the top really, i tried spinning it and pushing it through the sludge but it just stayed wherever i pushed it to ! I tried a trial jar with half smoothie and half water just for a very rough idea of what I was playing with and that was 1035, so what the real one is is anyones guess. i think siphoning this one might be fun..............

Hey Laripu, cheers for the pic, its perfect !!! Also works for my TC !

Cheers !
