KeymasterGenerally speaking, the darker styles work better for kits. Especially avoid the ones claiming to be lager. The bigger kits which provide all the fermentable material work better than the smaller ones which need you to top up with extra spraymalt. Kit brewing is a good way to learn the important basics like hygiene and gravity measurement without investing too much in it.

KeymasterI nominate myself for the position of Chair. I have no financial links to the drinks industry.

KeymasterIt’s an ideal reminder that youth and freshness are all-important and nothing really improves with age.

KeymasterAs a hobby involving lots of consumable material, I’d have thought they were easy to buy for. What do you get them? More Citra.

KeymasterIt’s certainly a novel way to draw attention away from the flaws in the beer 😛

KeymasterReally sorry to hear that. They had been putting out some excellent beers lately.

KeymasterNot the freshest, if I’m honest.

KeymasterIt’s a good idea, but ideas are easy. Actually doing it is the tricky part. Best way to find out if it’s possible or not is to do it.

KeymasterThat sounds like a decent selection. I was in a few weeks back and had a pint of Rustbucket.

KeymasterHi Shane, welcome back! Do you know what’s happening with Thompsons? Is that part of the job lot?
TheBeerNut
KeymasterI wonder what the story is with Thompsons, then. It mentions that it’s part of the business, which the family is getting out of, but it doesn’t seem to be part of what’s for sale.
I had always wondered why there was a sign advertising Cotton Ball at the entrance to Penrose Wharf, which is nowhere near the brewery. It’s because the Lynches own that building too.-

KeymasterConfirmed for PortView Trade Centre. I guess they’re moving it to “right in the heart of Belfast” for the weekend, subject to planning permission.
