First hot day of the year, and this beer is going down a treat. |

Yay .. finally worked out the "odd" flavour in the kegging system. Helps if you clean out the beer lines properly once in a while instead of just flushing hot water through. Beer tasting 100% better now. Still not good on the bitterness but everything else is going well. |

Really dried out now, still a bit on the grainy side. I really don't like the flavour imparted by the CO2 though. |
