Orval Clone next to an Orval3738 viewsThis is a picture of an Orval Clone I have made next to a real Orval. Mine is a little darker and stronger (it boiled down further than I predicted as I fixed my brewery burner). Overall it is a darn good drop and has those farmhouse brett characters of the real thing. It should get better with a bit of age. My head isn't as dense on this photo as the real Orval but is improving the longer it sits in the bottle. YUM.bhami (15 votes)

The 0812steved Patented CCing Doohicky8612 viewsFor those of you unable to (or not allowed to) acquire a fridge for CCing, this is my baby.
It is watertight and is insulated with polystrene fruit cartons (and highly decorative duct tape). I fill it with ice in the morning and top up with 4 cups of ice in the afternoon. Each morning I syphon out the water (5L/day) for the dog or the garden.
In this (February) climate it keeps the beer at around 12c, but from Autumn to Spring it comes into its own - keeping the beer well below 10c, and not using as much ice.
It may be ugly (thanks for noticing) but it does the job. I can provide detailed plans for those who need them.......0812steved (18 votes)
