    Which one have you done? Homebrew Trippel sounds interesting/lethal.

    London bitter.

    As long as this one tastes ok I'll be moving on and sampling the
    others in due course.

  6. I'd heed this...
    " NEVER PLACE THE BRUBOX CLOSE TO ITEMS OF VALUE. BRUPAKS CANNOT BE HELD
    RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE"
    for when you're drinking it.

  9. Cool, I'll show you mine if you show me yours. I have a batch on right
    now that's about 2 days from bottling.

  10. Bear in mind that for them to taste any good you have to leave them for
    at least 3 months otherwise there's no point buying the premium kits,
    you may as well drink the cheap stuff and drink it as soon as it's
    settled because it'll taste the same.

    I'm not sure if it'd travel well enough to have a beer tasting session
    at the bosm.

  12. I really wouldn't want to gauge the authenticity of the brew after only
    a couple of months in the bottle either and as you say, shaking it up
    just after it's started to properly settle wouldn't do it any favours,
    either. I propose a get-together when the days are longer and the garden
    warmer.

    I think the obvious solution is that WC does the elefantentreffen next
    year.

    Oh, that means I have to go again doesn't it? Better start scheming
    then...

  16. From what I saw of this years' elefantreffen, there's no fucking way
    you're going to get my riding to a foreign country in sub-zero
    temperatures so that I can freeze my fucking tits off by staying in a
    tent. No amount of alcohol will make it even close to bearable.
    Do they have it at any other time of the year? Preferably between the
    months of June and August.

    You are aware that Lady Nina went this year? Being known to be more of
    a lightweight than her isn't really a good thing.
    No.

  18. And this is supposed to make a difference?
    Heh, I'm talking about being a lightweight, I'm talking about avoiding
    amputations and hypothermia.

    The BOSM is coming up soon, if someone/you/people can convince me it's a
    good idea I might buy and old shitter to go on but it's going to be a
    close call.

    You fucking girl. Get your kit sorted, and the cold won't be an issue. I
    went the last 600 miles with the arse hanging out of my pants. Most of the
    time, it was warm enough that Champ could have coped.
