That's rubbish for you! Are APC still pretty much the only ones going for beer delivery too?

They recently delivered a pack of beer for me to a completely random back yard down the street from me. I had to knock on randoms doors....

Our next meet up will be on Tuesday 14th April from 7pm at the Town Mouse, hope to see a few people there. #homebrew #beeroclock #Newcastle #beer

Big bowl of ginger

Big tub of grated ginger

Made a ginger beer today and off to local homebrew club tonight, it's a good day

Going to make a ginger beer tomorrow

Bacon on a croissant would be ace

We had a Japanese beef curry.

Love a pie/pasty!

This is the only pic I can find of it, this was 2 weeks after bottling - it did get some more carb than this. 11%

Muntons Craft Pale Ale malt (just used that as my base malt to give it try for a few months - slightly less extraction than MO, but tasty enough), I intended to use EKG but forgot to buy any so ended up using Apollo which was the best I had to hand - it was a bit of a day...
I boiled 35l down to ~9l

I made a smash barleywine by boiling for 5 hours last year, loads of effort but it tasted great (imo)

Haggis is one of my faves, not had it in ages though. Looks tasty!

Big fish

Game set up on a table

New year, new game - Charterstone, a legacy game to get stuck into!

It's our final home brew club of the year tonight, hopefully you can join us from 7pm at the Town Mouse. #homebrew #beeroclock #Newcastle #beer

Overlapping cards, each card is in quarters with 4 different colours, they represent a city with roads and 4 different zones. The cards are arranged to make the roads connect and the coloured zones make groups where possible

Game laid out in starting position.

Played a couple of game tonight - a print and play game I printed yesterday (Sprawlopolis) and a legacy game (Legends of Yu) lots of fun!

Brewing equipment - a 3 in 1 kettle, mash bin and cooking cool upside down drying on a towel and a bag of grain.

Shiny silver metal pan with reflection of board games in lid. There is a grommet in the lid

Compost bin with spent grain and hops on the top.

Been a bit slow on the brewing recently, a buddy in work gave me this Düsseldorf alt kit so I've had a go on Thursday
Also turned this cheap 33l AliExpress SS pan into a fermenter so we'll see how that goes.

4 cans of beer: Henhouse county pale - Rigg and Furrow, We need a bigger dumpster - Twice Brewed, Jackalope - Sinister Brew, Geometry of sound - Wylam Vs Verdant.

Same, picked these up in Newcastle earlier - where to start ....
