The Barklay Perkins Sparkling Beer is carbed up and ready. It tastes really promising already, which might suggest that the CML California Common yeast needs less lagering / cold conditioning than their Kölsch yeast. It's an interesting beer.The Barkley Perkins IPA is also ready, and looks and tastes absolutely amazing (see pic). I'm only drinking at the weekends, so I'm just having a few every week, and it will be interesting to see how this improves. The over attenuating MJ New World Strong yeast hasn't appeared to ruin this at all; but it would be very interesting to brew this with a yeast that doesn't attenuate as much to see how it differs.
I now have nothing brewing or conditioning (well, apart from 2 more WOW's ~ Apple, Grape & Raspberry and Apple, Grape and Cranberry), so I'm planning my next 2 brews. Both will be some kind of lager, as I got a job lot of Mangrove Jack lager yeast from a store that was closing down, and want to take advantage of the last of the cold conditioning weather!
