On Tap (6th Dec 2009)
A lot of activity in the workshop this week. Time for an “On Tap” update.
Primary
- Abbots Special Ale (1 day) – this is my first attempt at a Greene King Abbot Ale clone

Secondary
- Kentish Best Bitter (3 days)

Drinking

- Old Ale in the bottle (1 month in the secondary, 1 1/2 months bottle conditioned) only 5 left
