All tips welcomed.

Jokes aside. I need to ...

Thanks for asking!

All good here - I think we're less impacted than some are right now.

Definitely brewing, especially since I got a helpful tip from Curtis on where to get some ingredients I needed.

Got a British Golden Ale kegged, a best bitter (sort of a Boddington's clone, with invert sugar ...
