Captain 3 Droids Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Haven’t brew this one for a while now, in the Droid as we speak. So hard to keep up with brewing the favourites/new releases. No! I’m not getting a fourth droid! (but what if a new one comes on the market cheap? or a used one as a backup/catch-up unit? mmmmm) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I did now as otherwise I couldn't have justified purchasing more kegs this week on the special offer. Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 10 hours ago, Barrelboy said: Box and a blanket? Jumpers? etc should raise the temp ok. I usually have about 30 botlles in a warmer area but the stubbies I haven't moved and last night, I just had a couple of stubbies to see where they were at. Usually it wouldn't make a big issue as I would have a bigger stock through winter, so it would have time but I let the stock run down a bit after coming back from KI. I do have a greenhouse attached to the laundry (no jokes) so that regulates the temp a bit better during winter for that room but without knowing for sure, I bet it is probably just under 16 during winter. Next week, a bi of warmer weather and it all sarts up again. Anyways, 6 weeks in Bohemian tonight, properly kept, should be a real treat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Close enough to eight weeks in on the Birra. If you don't drink this on a regular basis, you forget how nice this is...and it is, just a very, very good beer. As hard as it is to put Belgian in the corner, top 3 for me is this, Boho and Pale....and that is leaving Lawnmower out of the 3...and Czech Pilsner...even one of those doesn't get into the top 5...FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of those times I wish the old man was still around...he'd have loved Brewart....and I would have bought him a couple of droids too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolute cracker to be honest, when it starts hitting its straps it beats Peroni on tap...and I don't mind Peroni on tap, so to get that kind of result out of a bottle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
