 RICARDO N0 14 WOODFORDE'S WHERRY 3KG 4.5% 28/03/2015

There is always a tale . I got a new barrel , everything went  well . I primed it in exactly the same way gave it an injection of Co2 to get rid of any air and left it for the 3 days in the airing cupboard. After its first night I got up to make a brew as normal and I could smell beer . It had started leaking from the tap . Reason : It needed tightening as soon as I tightened it the leak stopped . Unfortunately it had been dripping all night I lost over 1 ltr and it had leaked through to the ceiling down stairs leaving a large stain . Oops  . Now repainted and the beer is in the garage maturing . score to follow brew again to follow . 

 The leak was my fault . I had not checked if the tap was tight after buying from the shop . Hassle with the leak as it did make a mess but the beer was excellent a lovely colour and a distinctive taste not too bitter and not too hoppy . Score 8.5 out of ten . Brew again . yes!
