Mine's turned out well too -- a good mix of sweetness and bitterness. Must admit it's not the style of beer I usually go for -- too much like grapefruit juice for my tastes. But I can't brew my boring brown beer every time.

That's not a bad amount. Hurrah for us!

By the way, do we get to keep the beer we brewed, or does it have to go up to headquarters? All this eager totting-up of the total suddenly made me wonder... :lol:

Bottled this tonight, 36 bottles - a nice little haul!

Stuck it on the concrete floor in the garage for a week and its crystal clear. Looking forward to trying it.

Mine's just about carbed up now so I tried a sneaky half last night - it's luscious. :)

I packaged mine yesterday. Looks bright already and tasting nice. Not my normal style but a really nice beer. Reminds me of HSD a bit.

I transferred my bottles from the fermentation cabinet to the cellar yesterday. They can sit there for two or three weeks now.

:twisted: i heard rumours of royalties at least.. a percentage levy on every litre brewed.. good job i only declared ten.. 8)

seriously though the keg kicked in no time and it's a strong candidate for a quick rebrew on the bigrig. :D
dazzled, doused in gin..
