Looks like a Dark One

70 looks and no Posts and I did a Video

There yo go. Saddo did watch some of the video but the long shot of 2 empty FV's had me struggling Enviable set up there Gary, you give Home Brewers a good name

Maybe the lookers were just far too sad to bother commenting.

Looking good. Shame I can't get the vid on the ipad

I clicked on the link and planned to watch but it didn't load. I was a little gutted.

I do envy your setup

Gee thanks people, brews doing fine, as expected I had two buckets looking like Don kings hair when the yeast took off ,should have taken a pic.

Thats a hell of a set-up. I'd love to have a outbuilding with decent brewing gear in!

Trouble is you end up filing it up with stuff you don't need, I'm sure my shed could be better organised.my man cave

Oh yes

Sneaky 2 pint test ( GP on in a mo so might xfer the other batch and nick a few pints)


its Dark

Slight roasty on the nose but its 6º and flat

mouth feel for me is good no hint of it being mainly water

at this temprature Ijust get a slight roast with a sweet dark chocolate with a blackberry hint at the end( the burp highlights the Blackberry)

"I is very happy with this"

Guess I need to bottle some up in a week and post off to viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54428&p=575033#p575033

Well I did post it off to the above link, but have to say after a few pre Xmas drinks its not my cup o tea, but who knows it might be your Holy grail of Darkness.
