April looks like being a real treat. For those of you interested in Stock Ales and bugs. I've been tunnelling into the virtual paper hill like crazy the past few days. And the real paper mountain I call my book collection.


You'll be chomping down my mouldy bread all month. The highlights include:


  • more about bottling naturally-conditioned beers
  • brettanomyces fun
  • acidity in 19th century Porter
  • October Beer
  • Guinness


Some of the posts are even written.

All I need now is a snappy name for the series. Old Stuff? Acid trip? Mother-in-law? Bugs and vats?Ageing April? Yeah, that'll do. Ageing April it is.

I need to go and lie down now. The excitement's too much.
