My only experiences were of my Dad doing this back in the late 70's/early 80's (I don't think he was too impressed, although to stuck at it to be fair to him) and then one botched attempt 20 years ago when me and some mates were at University. The results were 'interesting' in a way that 'totally undrinkable piss water' can only begin to describe.

The trick is to never admit that your brew is piss. It always has a "complex flavor profile."

Just tasted my latest home brew - IPA with extra hops and malt added - after a few weeks in the keg. Genuinely tastes great, which is a relief because my last attempt (a lager) was pish.

Lager largely is pish

You're just drinking the wrong lager

I think it must be the weather, but I'm really into my lagers at the moment.

Their Bitter&Twisted is one of my favourites...as far as lagers are concerned, I quite like Kasteel Cru.

Kasteel Cru - that's the one brewed using Champagne barrels IIRC - that is a nice one.
