Thirsty Work OR What?

Jobs...
Taste of the Irish Red... mmm really improved! Great head, really nice taste(not too hoppy, just hoppy enough). YES we have 'nose' BUT at this stage NOT the strong nose we are after? Smooth with a hint of latte/caramel!

Chemical clean of beer lines & taps. Flushed with fresh water.

Cleaned empty keg and filled with Blowhole Stout which has been largering in the fridge. Pressurised keg with 40+lbs psi and returned to fridge. Couldn't help giving it a little shake!!! We bottled 6 bottles of BHS with a black jellybean for effect! So far it's pretty good.

Moved kegged Ginger Beer from fridge to kegerator NOW ready to pour.

That's 3 kegs in the kegerator- Irish Red, Ginger Beer and the last of the Labatt Blue!
AND the keg of Blowhole Stout in the fridge! But wait there's more...
Moved the 'new' ginger beer from 'The Funny Farm' to 'Humpback Brewery'. We have allowed and encouraged a FULL/Complete fermentation to produce a very dry ginger beer to contrast our earlier sweet GB.
ps... fitted alarm system!
