Christmas Brew

[MickyD]

Whens the best time you guys would recommend for brewing Woodfordes Admirals Reserve for Christmas?

They Wherry I have has been kegged for around 3 weeks now, and still very cloudy (once it settles...brings a whole new meaning to 'A pint w'ead on') also still very yeasty.

I want the Admirals Reserve as a nice beer for Christmas, would it act in a similar way to the Wherry?

I think I shall leave the AR in the brew bin longer than I did the Wherry in the hope it settles down more.

SO much to learn, SO much trouble remembering.

planning to go a Woodfordes Nog for xmas was thinking of doing a a stout but save that for paddys day etc. prob do it end october. heard the wherry takes a good six weeks to get the best out of it is it the same for the Nog?

what is everyone planning to brew for christmas? it is true people have conditioned with a christmas pudding in the barrell?

Being as we are in Oz for Christmas I figure that I will get a brew barrelled at the start of December - should be ready for our return that way
