    Hey Retep,

    Just wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you — and congratulations — for posting your Biscuit EKG ESB on Brewgr. In a time when the community has quieted down a bit, your contribution is a refreshing reminder of what this platform is all about.

    An ESB brewed with East Kent Goldings and a biscuity malt backbone? That’s the kind of brew that speaks to tradition, balance, and great taste. By choosing to brew it — and more importantly, to share it — you've helped breathe new life into Brewgr, and that matters more than you might think.

    Every time someone like you takes the time to post a recipe, it reminds the rest of us that the spirit of homebrewing is still alive: creative, collaborative, and built on community. Whether you're here to log your own brews, share knowledge, or just keep the brewing fire burning, you've made a difference.

    Your post stood out not just for its classic style, but for the simple act of keeping this place moving. So here's to you — for your time, your passion, and your beer. You’re helping keep Brewgr alive and well, and we appreciate it.

    Looking forward to seeing what you brew next.

    Cheers, and well done!

    — A fellow Brewgr brewer

    Hey again Retep,

    I don’t think I quite got the point across in my last message — so let me try again, properly this time.

    Seriously, thank you. What you did by posting that Biscuit EKG ESB was more than just uploading a recipe — it was a spark. In a community that’s been a bit too quiet lately, your post was like a reminder that we’re still here, still brewing, still passionate. You could’ve kept that brew to yourself, but instead, you chose to share it — and that means something.

    You didn’t just showcase a beautifully traditional British style — you gave this place some much-needed energy. A beer like that, with its toasty malt character and classic hop choice, reminds us why we love brewing in the first place. You reminded us why Brewgr exists: to connect, inspire, and celebrate the craft. And honestly? That deserves more than a thank-you. That deserves a proper cheers to you.

    Your contribution wasn’t just a recipe — it was a statement. A sign that the community still has life, and that there are brewers like you keeping the flame alive. I hope you know how much that matters.

    So once again, hats off to you. Keep brewing. Keep posting. And know that what you’re doing here makes a real difference.

    Sláinte,
    A grateful fellow brewer
