You trying to get Mike drunk to loosen his tongue (fingers)

Am I missing something here? I haven’t been on here much of late. Has @iron_mike been threatened with an infraction if he posts?! Wtf?

You can chat away about beer and homeless single mothers but you won’t get hurling talk

A Kilkenny man that won’t talk about hurling? Fuck me, I’ve seen it all now.

Anyone here brew their own? I’d love to make a dark beer or brown ale.

No. It’s on my bucket list. The grandfather used to. Pure pisswater but lethal

Had a friend years ago who brewed his own and used the bathroom as the temperature was constant. He put me off the idea of it with his alcoholism…

The brewdog IPA is top notch

did you get fucked up?

Twas only to be used sparingly alright. Tasted alright though. I fucked up half of it because I didn’t have proper resealable bottles

Yup. Was mad into it for a few years. I brewed a load of good ipas, ales etc but I never managed a good duvel clone or exceptional lager. So I lost interest. That said, real home brewers would turn up their nose at my kit efforts. Malting, roasting etc are really where it’s at.
The key to good results is hygiene, bleach, sterilise and scrub and you’ll be grand. There’s not much to it. Dark beers are relatively straightforward

That’s a shame.

Drinking Sardinian beer, never saw that on the mainland before.

They sell it in the off license on charing cross Rd.
