This was a very exciting day, today I was able to order my beer in a pub. I had dreamed of this day ever since the first home brew in Manchester. As you can see I was too excited and had had a bit before saving the moment for posterity. My first pint of Bloodletter IPA went down very well.
It was a wonderful evening with many great comments from customers, friends and family.
Thank-you all for helping make this possible.
The admiral hops finally showed up. This evening we were down at UBrew running up a test batch of Single Variety Admiral Ale. I have been meaning to do a batch with Admiral for ages, as a British hop with a pungent orange aroma, I want to see how it compares to the citrus notes of Citra and Amarillo.
The bowl of hops you see in the picture above had an exceeding delicious orange aroma, with light herbal tones. I can’t wait to see what it comes out like. It is 2-3 weeks till I can, and I will keep you posted.
I have been busy with the old laptop, designing some beer bottle labels. It took a bit of effort and vocal encouragement for it all to line up, but finally I got something I was happy with; and the wife approved of. Then to the laser printer, print it out and glue it onto a bottle of our fine Bloodletter IPA Test Batch 3.
Now all that remains is to sit down in front of the TV and drink some beer out of a labelled bottle 🙂
