FATHER BEER, MOTHER BEER and little baby BEER!

 

I'm exciting! Kegged THREE beers and no Goldilocks? Gassed and re-gassed filled kegs, the smell is 'as you would want it to taste. A short wait for infusion of gas, settling and some maturation. First Keg too much hops, Second Keg too little, Third Keg ... JUST RIGHT! Cleaned and sanitised fermenters and just had to have a finishing reward... mmm. Photos show the bottom of two of the three fermenters with dregs- yeast and hops & and the hop bag used to filter out hops.

It's a GAS!

Did you know...???

We didn't!

Humpback Director goes Honkers!

Honkers NOT Bonkers!
Ricardo has fled the country and is on route to sample Honkers, not Hooters!
