Saturday night, 20.9.08, mostly 500ml bottles, i think there was about 2 or 3 x 750's and maybe 5 stubbies...
also, attempted to sample the most recent Lachouffe, lost the bottle to champagne overflow. either still a bit young, or thats how its gonna be, damnit all. i guess its the risk you run with the heavily sugar'd high alcohol content brews. in future i will prime with less sugar and hope the residuals in the pre-bottled beer will be enough. either that, or i pulled the plug on the brewing process too soon? but considering it sat for over 2 weeks and well and truly appeared to be done..? i dont know.

Theakston's a bit Peculier
Bought the makings of a Theakstons Old Peculier clone... put it down this night.
1.8kg Munton's Scottish Heavy Ale
882g soft brown sugar
500g dark unhopped spraymalt (dry)
412g Dextrose
18g fuggles hops
Safale yeast
calculates out to a 7 percenter...
for priming bottles, will use blackstrap molasses, 100g with water to 300ml. then leave for a good while before sampling...
