Ready for AG Update... ('cept the equipment!)

Post by Orkney_Rob » Mon Sep 17, 2007 3:52 pm

That's my last kit done and kegged - the job I had on today got screwed up by someone not actually reading the instructions as to what the site should have provided and had ready for my arrival so I popped home, figured that the Almondbury Old was going no further and stuck it in the keg!

Just waiting on Hop & Grape getting the 10g breweries back in stock again and it will be all systems go (once I clear out one of the kegs anyway! About half the Coopers left, the IPA is still very young - only kegged 2 weeks ago ish and still tastes a bit naff to say the least! Cloudy as a cloudy thing too - so not started on the drinking of that one yet!)

Next job - get some Grolsch bottles ready for making some lager later in the winter... possibly enough for 2 batches so I can brew up a wheat beer too.... means drinking 96 bottles of Grolsch first mind ;-)

Roll on Hop and Grape :D

As Faith No More once sung - it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it! There was a notice in my old local in Lancaster that seems pertinent right now, it read "Please drink harder and faster - the management"

Rob,

Have you considered Leyland instead for your 10G kit? Its not featured on the site but they do a plain 60 litre plastic boiler (no thermostat, 1 or 2 elements), the same as H&G but a shade cheaper.

I think H&G are short of elements at the moment, but if you are in a hurry Joe at Leyland should be able to sort you out.

That would be "Ye Olde John O Gaunt".

A shadow of it's former self since Steve left but still a fine pint.

That's the badger! - I haven't been in there for years. I used to enjoy a Sunday lunchtime pint there and watch the Sun Street Stompers play some type of Jazz.
