    Do you know the price on the2 door unit? I had a look around and could only find things that were around twice the price for basically the same unit!

    We have ours downstairs and you really only notice it if you are watching tv and everything else is quiet. How often it cycles depends on ambient temp and how full the fridge is. It is advertised as a commercial unit but I an still surprised at how often it cycles and how quick the...

    For anyone that does have a bottle of the white stout I'd suggest putting it in the fridge now. I cracked one tonight and it was overcarbed. Not a gusher but a bit of head crawling out the top after the first pour. Sorry about that. Still tastes ok though

    Number 2 paulyman's coffee amber ale. Clear light brown with a light head and carbonation on the low side. Very clean beer. Coffe on the nose and in the flavour as well but nicely melded with the malt. Did you add coffee beans to the fermenter for that flavour? This is a delicate beer...

    Number 14 gone brewings fly blown Belgian. Crystal clear copper with a light head. Slight malty sweetness balanced well. Some interesting and subtle characteristics that I can't describe, presumably from a Belgian yeast. I'm enjoying it a lot. Cheers.

    Well all of my legs have blown so these swap beers are a godsend! Number 11 shackeds dunkekryezen. A nice balance between the sweetness of the wheat and the spice from the rye. Medium body, good carbonation for the style. Plenty of character, presumably from the yeast. A very enjoyable...

    That's one of my white stouts. It was a clone of the hopdog Christmas beer called feast of Stevens and had coffee beans and cacao nibs added post fermentation. Should be ready to drink.

    Anyone know what this is? Light straw colour. Fruity on the nose. Slightly sweet and tropical fruit on the palate. A very enjoyable beer.

    Fatz Vienna ale. Clear light copper, good lasting head. Clean malt flavour with just enough hops to balance the malt. Simple but delightful beer. In a beer world full of triple IPAs it's a pleasure to enjoy a simple but well put together beer. Cheers Ian.
