Common Beer Terms

Bulk Priming:
A technique used to prime your fermented beer in a single batch rather then individually as you would when bottling. Most people combine a mixture of water and sugar in a second vessel and rack the fermented beer on top of the sugar mixture. They would then bottle from the mixture without adding any sugar to the bottles as it has already mixed with the 'bulk' amount. A hit and miss technique, with as many failures as successful uses. Can also be used in kegging if your gas has run out.

An exceptionally full bodied Porter style ale that is as dark as it can get. We use generous amounts of drum roasted barley malt and choc chit malt to produce the coffee and chocolate characters that balance with the mocha and ripe stone fruit aromas. Nottingham ale yeast is used to retain the true Porter style. Classic English style Fuggles Hops are used for bittering and subtle aroma.

	A great antidote to our long winter nights, Greenock Dark Ale is one gutsy brew but easy to drink. You can safely enjoy a couple
