Yes, it seems very popular. Might have a crack later in the year myself. Good luck with the brew RTD

I'm sure that you will love that stout rtd. I tried a couple of bottles of it myself courtesy of Garth & they went down a treat!
I posted a review on them

Your review was one of the reasons I decided to make it HH, cheers !
A few brew day pictures :-
Lost about 1°C after 60 mins.
Returning the first runnings
Running off
Nice 'n' dark
Coming up to the boil
Northdown going in
Cooling......
.....and aerating into the FV
Yukk
I ended up with about 25l @ 1.049 which suits me 'cos I'll have a few more bottles to hand round & I prefer a slightly weaker pint (yes, I'm a wuss
)

looks like a good 'un Roger, hope it was an enjoyable brewday, the smell from the treacle in the boil is great
I found it's not quite a session guzzler, but it's still a great beer

Thanks chaps, had a bit of a worry this morning when I checked it only to find that the electrim heater immersed in the brew wasn't working, the temperature was down to 12 °C & there was no sign of fermentation. Fortunately I've got a brew belt so I fitted that & I've got a nice crusty looking head now (on the beer
)
