Christmas Promise

I thought a pic of the finished product might be of interest:

Here it is just after pulling:


And after settling for a minute or two:


It's not crystal clear, but tastes beautiful.

I have a wife...and my own fridge!

[Andy]

Oh well, one out of two ain't bad Steve

I'd love to have a taste of that, it looks like to would go down real smooth. I am champing at the bit to get my kit. I am very interested in AG but want to start easy.

Ooh nice picture. What do you think of Golden Promise malt then Jim?

I like it!

With my water it seems to work better, as it is a lighter coloured malt, which helps my pH.

Lovely looking pint of beer there Jim!

[ECR]

Very, very good. I need to have a pint of my own, now, after seeing that

Jim, that looks brilliant, was that pulled from your beer engine?

Yep. Beer engine fed from a plastic pressure barrel via a check valve.

looks the biz, got the 'settle' and everything,

what's it taste like? any comparisons?

......what's it taste like? any comparisons?

I can't think of anything that's exactly like it commercially, but it's fairly hoppy without being too bitter, and with a good balance of malt flavour. It has a nice 'clean' creamy taste - and I reckon it'll all be gone by New Year's Day!
