I've got an extra cube I can take along on the day, barls, and you can drop one off when you come and collect it. Might save some running about.

Hmmmmmmmmm,

Glad to see some of those hops going well.

For some rediculous reason I took the................... advice of someone and cut back the shoots that popped out during September, expecting to see some more this month. Sadly to say I'm still waiting....... apart from one shoot that I missed on the Hallertau that is going pretty well!!!!!!

Man that is a choclatey brew! Didn't think that ammount of choc malt would have such an influence besides colour. Had a whiff and sample from the fermenter yesterday, decided to drop a cascade plug in there to raise the hop aroma, can't wait to keg this baby!

It sure it. Hoppy too though. I might dry hop it a bit as well. Maybe with some Centennial as I've no Cascade ATM. The sample I tasted was good though. :icon_drool2:

Geez... steroids?

Gotta put some Seasol or something on mine and get them into the full sun, they're only at 2 foot

 

[oldbugman]

grew from 6foot to 8 foot in 1 week

it is now 1 foot above the fence, so I expect it to turn ack down and start spreading along the trellis.
