Brewed up a bitter today, and already can't wait until its ready.
Will post a screen shot of the recipe along with brew day pics.
FUBAR stands for Fuggled Up Beyond All Recognition.
Was a really good brew day, although my efficiency on this batch Is WAY down compared to my last batch, 63% today as opposed to 79 on the last.

Can't figure out how to post multiple pics in one post, sorry about that lol.
I think my efficiency dropped a bit because the wort drained almost instantly, as opposed to the last brew, it drained very slow which I think help pull more sugars through

Haha, it's all in pour my friend.
I have no idea why my pictures keep turning on the side like that.

Just a side note, I used 3 easy kegs and 10 pet bottles to package this, was really surprised when pouring a pint a short while ago to find it had carved in this little keg.
I added no priming sugar at all to this batch and after 2 days of being under little pressure from the party star tap, it's carbed up, luckily I didn't set the tap regulator to max or else it may have been too fizzy.
