A very young ( 6 days in barrel) APA
EKG, Fuggles hops, Honey, elderflowers, munich malt, DME, coopers APA, Aurora hops dry

very green, but fookin lush!!!

The honey / elderflower flavours really compliment the bittering from the extra hops, and getting it down to 1.08 really helped offset the malt sweetness.

I then notice my keg of condiotning St Peters Golden Ale had exactly the same issue!

Two in one go! I couldnt believe it!!

A Relieved Stomach!
Sounds like you need to apply a small amount of lubricant and use less force next time mate :wink:

Glad you've managed to sort them both.
