Nice one matey! I'm sure they'll be fine! You should check out the Junction and Fanny's ale house if your going for a beer tonight!

it was a cracking day out thanks matey

Achilles turned out great! It was a great big hop punch to the taste buds! I think it was a bit too much for some pallets but I was very pleased.

I think when I re-brew it i'll drop the mash temp dow to about 62 and try to thin the body out a little bit. I'd rather do that than add sugar, but if it comes to that then hey ho.

That pint looks in great condition! Was the cask priming about right? Can almost smell it from here.

I thoroughly enjoyed that beer, I ended up voting twice on the best cask ale on the day and that was one I voted on. Good job!
