Hi, I've only lurked a bit recently on your thread and obviously don't 'know' you as well as others! But I'm glad the news about your wife and baby seem good. I have two little ones and it is such a worrying time. All good luck for the future, I hope things go swimmingly from here on in

Pleased that news is positive for you, praying it stays that way.

And I somehow managed to find time to bottle 34 bottles of HB stout

This one tastes far more robust than my first attempt at HB, I reduced the liquid content by about 5l for a stronger brew and was fairly generous with the sugar when bottling.

This time round was much faster - used a secondary bucket to batch prime (i.e. siphon off everything bar the yeast, then add the sugar all at once). Much less faffy than bothering with individual teaspoons of sugar etc. :T

Got this beast to go next.

Feeling zonked. Will catch up on diaries tomorrow.

Ed, this is great news! Hoping it all goes swimmingly from here on in. And I can't believe you managed to do the home brewing, well done :beer:

And as for the mortgage deal - 6 years and 1.85% saved :j:j:j

Well done!
