Cheers for the morale boost Si. I sure need it. Still, I've got plenty of grain and hops in so I have no excuse.

Boingy, you got me. I am a week adrift :shock: Been working too hard lately.

I've got 5 gallon of Old Peculiar and 5 of hobgoblin. I think early next year I'll start planning for Christmas so everything gets underway in good time. Don't want to end up like Matt...

OMG SC!

a one man beer festival!

I knew you would have a lot in stock but I really hadn't figured out that you had in excess of 500 bottles!

that's ball park 80-90 gallons! call it 120 gallons with your barrels!

Feeling a little insignificant, but I'm into christmas with:

1 cornie 'Golden Wolf' IPA
1 cornie 'Daft as a Brush'
1/2 cornie Kolsch
5 cases oatmeal stout
4 cases EKG pale ale
18 gallons cider
and a few odds and ends...

plus I'm doing a 15 Gallon Jever Pils in the next couple of weeks. (that's 1/3 liquor-back)

I've got:

1 Corny Crazy Ivan IRS
1 Corny Winter Sun Imperial IPA
1 Corny Galaxian Pale Ale
3/4 Corny Cole Porter
3/4 Corny Eureaka Steamboat Ale
3/4 Corny Hop Dog Imperial IPA
Plus a 5 gal FV of Goldfinger Best - which won't be ready until after the New Year

I make that about 21 Gallons of kegged beer, plus some in FV, plus a couple of cases of assorted bottled remnants.

Or....over a dozen pints a day for me from now into the New Year if I don't invite anyone round! :twisted:

R.I.P., Crows Best, Frostbite, Crows Pride, Choc & Treacle Stout, plus another 5 gallons of Winter Royal fermenting, ready for the end of Jan.
