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
