Looks great, I couldn't do without a bottling stick now!

I was so impressed with the Bottling stick.

Hello everyone, I'm back after 16 years! I've brewed a couple of all grains in the past, with varying success, one good Pale Ale using recovered yeast from Summer Lightning bottles and the last one a Porter which I had to ditch. That was March 2008! I think my last post then said I was looking forwa...
