But isn't nova further as Paarden Eiland lays "behind" Montague Gardens? ... + they don't always let you wait?

Novamarine and Fire Appliance is in closer proximity to one another, trans fire is a bit out coming from the Southern suburbs, although I popped into the Uk emporium on the way back which made it wort while

Hi All,

So to wind-up this thread, the first brew was a great success.

I'm really happy with the way the beer came out. A tasty easy drinking beer. I had a bit of fun designing a label to give it that craft beer look.

It's not as clear as I thought it would be, but I really can't complain.

Looks great !! Nothing better than enjoying your first brew! Apart from each subsequent one.... :-)

Clarity will take time and experience to get right. Don't worry about it. Also keep in mind that you brewed an APA, and the amount of hops in there cause a lot of clarity issues. It took me MONTHS to get a hoppy brew clear in the past, so don't worry about it.

On the beer, well done! There are few things are rewarding as drinking a nice homebrew...

Yeah same. I got some cool little stickers to stick on the caps of some brews, but it turned out too much effort. Now I just have crates standing around and when I want to know what's in a bottle and hold it up to the light thinking "what did I brew with that colour recently".

It's a guessing game, but it's a nice guessing game. The other day I thought something was a shitty cider, but it turned out to be a nicely aged Vienna lager instead. SCORE!

If I ever get to bottle and sell my swill, I'm calling it 'Anonymous Brewery', that way I never need labels

If I bottle, I use a sharpie and label the cap, easy peasy to "clean"
