In Morrissons Boxes of Hobgoblin are on offer...
8 x 500ml bottles for £8 Got to be happy with that :D :D :D :D
Just dont try my local store....theyve just run out ::) ::) ::)
-
Hmm. Might have to go there at lunch time. ::)
I need the bottles for my home brew. Won't drink the HobGoblin, honest. ;D
-
Ooooo, good shout JB. I will be stocking up this evening me thinks! :y
Kev, I still have your bottles here and as I have increased my own share of the Hampshire Homebrew bottling collective you can have them back if you need. How big a batch are you thinking of doing? I could lend you some of mine if you need.
I have been banned from doing another batch this side of Christmas, so guess what I am doing on Boxing Day? ::) ::)
-
It'll only be a 40 pinter and I might well just get another pressure barrel, as it's so much easier. Have to try out my AG setup. 8)
-
I've asked Father Christmas for a couple of King Kegs, with any luck they'll arrive in time to condition the current Ranger IPA clone :P
-
Good stuff... King kegs get mixed opinions but mine has been faultless. The key, as always, is to make sure it's spotlessly clean and all seals have a smear of vaseline on them to keep them gas tight, IMHO.
My next one will be a bottom tap, I think. Top tap is great for dispensing into the glass (although it's always a bit lively, I find) but a bottom tap is also useful for priming a batch before bottling some or all of it.
I've also been wondering about bottling into 2 litre "Growlers". Got one from triple fff for take-outs and it looks ideal.
Well, my runner reports Fleet Morrisons only have 330 ml bottles at a pound a go.. :'(
-
Ah if it's 330ml then that's no good. I heard that ASDA were doing some real ale for £1 a bottle (500ml) but I havent checked in on it yet
-
booo! this is the boxes of 8, not individuals :y so maybe on shelf end etc

Yep, he had a good look, but no luck, unfortunately. :'( Thanks for the tip-off, though. :y
He must have found something he liked, though, as apparently his Volvo estate is now well loaded. ;D
-
The local one to me (Farnborough) says 8x500ml. Detour after work me thinks :P
-
Hmmmm.........perhaps I ought to make my visit to Chester this weekend!! ::) ;D

Is that the one in Southwood? Hmm. Not a big detour for me... ::)
-
Well, my arms are now about a foot longer after carrying a couple of cases of Hobgoblin to the car. :D
-
Enjoy!
-
Morrisons up here didn't have it on offer.
Managed a couple of well priced malts though... ;)
-
"Cheap Hobgoblin"
......I`ve dated somebody like that. ::)
;D

Well I got the last box at Southwood, not sure if they are getting anymore in. However, the venue requires more investigation. The assistant manageress is very tasty indeed :P

Funny you should say that. You texted me just as my mobile was in my pocket about 3 inches from the credit card terminal, and I think it might have crashed the till. ;D As the assistant manageress was leaning over it, waiting for it to reboot it, I thought to myself... :-X

Sounds like I need to make a detour to Morrisons at Southwood the next time I go to B&Q and Wickes in Farnborough. Just to check out their special offers you understand :-X
