[technobabble66]

Sah-prise! - totally different beer provided by me. The intended is still fermenting, so the backup is a Theakston's Old Peculier style of Old Ale. It sat in a fermenter for 8 wks, and has now been in the bottle only 2 weeks. So it probably needs a shake once a week to rouse the yeast, for the next few weeks. Apologies - i really thought i'd have plenty of time to get the Amber Yak into bottles for swapping. It was going to be the first repeat of a beer that previously worked really well. Instead the TOP clone is a first run. Hopefully it conditions into a decent beer.

1. Yob - APA (carbed but could do with a couple more weeks if you have no patience drink now)[/color]
2. Idzy - California Common Steam Ale - Ready to drink - drink at the start of your session, rather than end, as this is a more subtle tasting beer.
3. Mardoo - Big Dick Brewing labels. It says on the label when to drink, but the 3A-Big Brown Cock should have another month ideally although it says now. It drinks pretty well around 10 degrees but will ease up nicely with another month. 3B-Golden Rooster, drink September (Hope you like the pisstake on craft beer marketing )
