I have to admit I haven’t brewed in years, mostly because my free time has been spent on my Jeep, but this topic has inspired me to dust off my brew gear and brew up a batch.
Since Mrs. Radar’s English pen pal is coming back this year and he kept raving about “bitters” but we couldn’t find a comparable microbrew, I’m going to brew a batch of it. I figure if I get after it now I should be able to have it ready by the time he gets here in June.

First batch is in the fermenting bucket in the basement. Airlock is bubbling and temp. is around 63. In about a month, I should have a brown ale to drink.

Last night, the temp was getting low (around 60F). So I put a couple towels and a strand of Christmas lights around the bucket. Temp this morning was about 68F.

No boil over. Process went pretty well. Only issue was cool down took a while. Didn't occur to me at first that I should have been using a sink full of ice water instead of just ice.
