Hey all. I worked out yesterday that i havent brewed for about 1 1/2 years :( I had some silly idea i should join the local gym and hence all brewing stopped many moons ago, Im getting the urge again... and i feel Ross might start to love me again when i make my first few orders haha. On a...

i keep ahb on all day for a score like this.. and the hour im away..... sighhhh.....

i have 3 5l demijohns full of 9% old ale that have been sitting on assorted oak chips for just shy of 2 years now, never meant to leave it for this long, just never got round to bottling them yet... dont know what they will taste like, will probably just blend all 3 , crash chill and add a bit...
