There was only three of us with a possibility of maybe 5 next time but it was great to meet other people into the same thing.
Hope fully we will get a little bigger and wiser with time! We swapped beers and even swapped some WLP001 yeast too got rather drunk and stayed out past our bedtimes!

Cheers Andy, might be worth sorting yourself one out, it was really helpful to listen to other ideas and theories rather than type on a forum all the time.

I don't think it's essential that we all use the same yeast. Might be interesting if you use something else?
