Possibly. Its not my intention to ruin the thread on the sad passing of the King but credit where credit is due.

The Facebook group that organised the fundraiser for the Ezquerra family just reported the cash has been transferred to John Wagner. Over £4,000 - well done to everyone who kicked-in.

Yes, well done and well done Dale for organising it.
I hope all those who were criticising him and doubting the money would be handed over are enjoying their large slices of humble pie.

Shouldn't the cover be in the IP infringement thread?
They are selling a comic using other companies IP aren't they?  ;)😄

If you're planning on picking this up in Brighton, it's not there.

I tried in Brighton too and was told they didn't order any 2000AD's.
I tweeted about it and Dave's Comics said they were given the wrong code for it so the order didn't work.
They are getting some in on Tuesday.
I wont be in Brighton then but a fellow Southern Contingent member got me one. Thanks Dweezil :D

Hopefully they have enough creators lined up for this or some current creators may have to use pseudonyms like in the old days.
I'll certainly be suspicious if I see stuff by Jean Wagner and Patricia Mills. 😉

How do you find the Grainfather kit? Is it suitable for a beginner?

It's very easy to use. I don't see why a beginner shouldn't use one.
Had mine for over a year and I love it.

There are loads of YouTube videos where you can learn the process. I watched a few before I got mine.
I can recommend David Heath and Gary James on YouTube.

Creative Common / 2000AD Homebrew
21 January, 2018, 07:51:47 PM
As a keen homebrewer I decided it was time to create my own 2000AD recipe.
I thought it should be called Mac Mac after the brew that has featured in the comic many times.

What makes my brew Mac Mac? It has two additions each of Magnum, Amarillo and Cascade hops so the initials of those hops spell Mac Mac.

It's a 7.3% Betelgeusian IPA.

Cheers!

Six bottles will be given away at the next Southern Contingent gathering via a raffle.

I made my own beer, sampled the first batch tonight. It's good. Don't have a hydrometer, so I don't know how strong it might be.

I own a TV. Make of that what you will

What did you brew?
As long as it tastes good that's all that matters.

Irish Red Ale*

I just used a kit, with a nag of malt and some priming sugar. It required more patience than skill to be honest.

*which doesn't get shortened to an acronym like IPA does.

Kits are pretty easy but you can get some great results.
My advice would be to ignore the instructions and look online for some advice.The instructions usually don't give enough time to make a really good beer.
I'd ferment for two weeks and leave in the bottle, or barrel, for about four weeks.

There's a forum called Jim's Beer Kit that has lots of good advice.
