well done md. Any pictures, write ups?

Spooky timing - the last few murky pints in my barrel of courage directors went down the drain last night. :(
It was a stonking good beer, let it mature as long as your patience will let - sure you will be pleased with yours. :D

I can see why you like pictures, It really adds to the text in the post. I did read somewhere on the forum how to post them but can't find it now, can anyone help, thanks.

:D Had an IPA @ 1055 to lay down in bottles for summer in the week and something a bit like a Brakspear to put in a corny that came out at 1045 on Sat. The season's underway! T

Fraid so - hence my obsession with temperature control, to at least extend the season
