For anyone who is interested, I've had a busy weekend on the homebrew front. I bottled the John Bull Masterclass Irish Stout (which is already stunning), bottled 2 different wines, kicked off a Sherwood Forest Bitter, and kicked off 2 new wines.
Full details on my blog for anyone interested:

I really can't wait to see what the Stout is like, a taste of the dregs on bottling day was really encouraging.

Re: Latest Home Brewing Exploits
You have been busy! 
If you can resist it, the JB Masterclass Stout improves beyond all recognition if left for a couple of months... I thought it was a little ordinary soon after bottling, but amazed when I went back to it later - one of the best stouts I've made, I preferred it to the Brupaks Brewer's Choice.drbell wrote:I really can't wait to see what the Stout is like, a taste of the dregs on bottling day was really encouraging.

Cheers for the replies. Certainly was busy, I cannot believe how long this stuff takes - sanitising drives you nuts...
I'll certainly put some of that stout away for a few months thanks - its just how much of it I can keep undrunk that long
I really hope it does come out well, my first 2 brews were average and awful, so this third brew needs to keep my motivation levels up.
I'm trying to keep the blog interesting, but its getting harder now that I have made a few brews, mostly in the same ways.
Cheers
