" Ditch's Stout " Master Class .....

[WalesAles]

Seven F**king Pints?!? Mightn't it be an idea to have Andy suspend ye account for the night then ....? Just to save any unfortunate incidents in a couple of hours time .....

Hello Everyone,
Only managed 4 pints of the `3 Gall Stout` that night and I went to bed a happy man giggling up the stairs on my hands and knees trying to be quiet but that makes you giggle even more (or is that just me)? Anyway, in from my 4th 12hr night shift at 6.30am today and I could hear a pint calling me `drink me, drink me`, yes, I had a pint of `3 Gall Stout` sitting by the back door, smoking a cigar and thinking `if the neighbours are watching, I must look a right Tit, smelling my Pint, saying Aaaaaaaaah, Bloody Lovely mun! Finished pint in 10 minutes, is that normal at 6.30am? 2 Pints in bottles calling me right now! So, I`ve got to get my bottle opener! Got to go, Got to go!

You made the `3 Gall Stout`, then you told us about it! Glad you did! You should take full responsibility for the thing that says `drink responsibly`. Ho Ho Ho!

Bump. Never known this thread so quiet. Has the 3 gallon stout killed em all ?

Still enjoying my Ditchesque stout, reckon I've got about half left now. A friend tried it on Saturday and has just ordered a Coopers kit and some DSM, so I guess it pressed the right buttons for him.

I should be moving house shortly and am uncertain where the brewing will be done and product stored after the move. However, as soon as I know, I'll get another PB and put another one on as part of my Christmas selection. Maybe, as it's for Christmas, it will be a three gallon one; I've yet to decide.

Happy brewing,


Ian.

For xmass? I'd say a 3 gallon one is de rigger!

Incidentally; I'm not interested in trying to inflate this thread, myself. But, I have been wondering about Wales Ales myself. So much enthusiastic activity. So much alcohol! Now? Tumbleweed.

I reckon you may be right Ditch (as usual )

He has been rather quiet... maybe the 3 gallon stout got him after all.

Happy brewing,

Hello, I`m back!
Been quiet because the Kittens took over my front room so no serious brewing going on! Had the Beer Fest on Friday down my Brother`s, Good result, everyone loved all of the beers especially the `3 gall stout`! Had the usual comments like `Fcuk me, this is strong`, `Wow, did you make this`, `This stuff is mental`, etc, etc. When I was putting the bin bags out later, bent over to pick up the bag, lost all vertical control and fell forward into the wall, nice big graze right across my forehead! Good stuff that Stout!

Good to see you're alright, WA.

Sounds a f**king risky thing though, allowing people unbridled access to the 3G stuff!

I personally feel that really should be reserved for such occasions when the partaker is already well ahead mentally psyched up that, " Tonight, we're going to tie one on! ". New Years Eve or what ever.

I tend to look on it as sort of like the Crystal Meth of Stouts. Once ye get amongst That shit, nothing else will do! And, what is there to ever look forward to?

No. The 3G will be a once a year job, for me. That shit's just f**king lethal!

hi

i have the following to start this:

coopers beer kit
1 kg munton brew enhancer - i can't get dark malt in maldon or chelmsford.
usual tap water, but should i get 8x5 ltr tesco spring water as my water is hard.
demorera sugar

would that work?

[Ditch]

Ian; At a guess? It'd produce some sort of beer.

It would be about as far removed from what we've been discussing here though as custard.

Why can't you get malt, from your computer, mate? Sounds like the Irish directions; " It's about five mile to the north. But, you can't get there from here. "

And half a crushie will sort your tap water for the fraction of the price of all that bottled stuff. Sorts mine. And my stuff tastes like it's come out of a cattle trough.

[ianh82]

ok, i'll order some dark malt online and some tablet water softners. i'll brew the pale ale instead. i wanted to do it tonight as i've got into stout all of a sudden.

[Ditch]

" Tablet Water Softeners "? Ye do know we're just talking Campden Tablets here? Anyway, yes, bung them on. Couple of quid for a tub hundreds. Last ye for ever. I somehow wound up with two tubs! Out last me!

Trust me, Ian; Go ahead and make what ever. This one's worth throttling back and waiting for. Do it right and see what the fuzz is about

[ianh82]

i will mate, but need to somehow buy another 5 gallon tub though as don;t have the space. may have to do your way when i move or try and get a cheap jerry can.

[Ditch]

5 gallon tubs and jerry cans? What, for treating ye water in? Jerry's a tenner. Job's a good'n
