Last week’s homebrew, Inspector Banks, is now in the bottle and first indications are that it is one to look forward to. It needs at least a couple of weeks to condition in the bottle but the left-overs that I sampled make me optimistic.

In the photo above you can see the label I created for this brew, using covers from various Peter Robinson novels about the detective of the same name. It is a good way to end my week of crime and I am inclined to stick with the practise of bottling after a week if the gravity is stable rather than leaving the brew waiting longer. In other words, I’ve got a convition in mind, pending actually trying the results once it has had time to pass through the final prosecution.
