I'm loving the bitters at the minute, its starting to become a regular on tap rather than just once a year like before.

[@tubedinoz]

Thanks mate. While hop forward beers are great, I do miss the more malty characters you get from the English ales. Cheers 🍻

Sounds delicious, mate. Apologies if you’ve shown this in a previous video, but what method do you use to get the wort down to pitching temperature? Cheers!

[@tubedinoz]

Thanks mate. I just liquor back the boiler/urn with some cold water. Unfortunately my wort chiller won't fit inside. Cheers 🍻
