Beer update

pd's picture

I've been a little remiss on updating everyone on the beer making. I suspect I've been a little too busy making it, and drinking it, to write about it. The Landlord that I made (see last blog entry) turned out to be a little bit of a failure. I added too much water so it was a bit weak but more importantly my thermometer had been reading too high so I ended up mashing at too low a temperature. This meant that I got less fermentable sugars. So in the end the brew was a hoppy and tasty "session beer".

John Cholmondeley's bio:

Born too late for my musical taste, I first discovered Roy via Jugula and a gig at Malvern in the summer of '85. My mates were disappointed Jimmy Page didn't turn up, but I was blown away. I'd never seen anyone play anything as long or intense as OOTDIE ... and it all sat very well with my love of stuff like Solid Air. First saw Maz early one morning at Glastonbury in the mid '90's - loved his music too. Must be something about an acoustic guitar and a big PA ...??

Brew day - Timothy Taylor Landlord clone

pd's picture

I've been talking recently on facebook and twitter about my attempts at all-grain beer brewing. For a while now I've been doing kit brews, which are very easy - simply a matter of emptying one or two tins into a sterilised bucket, adding lots of water, pitching in yeast, and waiting. All the hard work of processing the malt into fermentable sugars, and boiling up with the hops, has already been done and presented in a water-reduced syrup in the tin.

An interview with Aaro Koskinen


Here is Aaro and the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) in the mystical forests of Helsinki - if you read the liner notes of "Flat Baroque & Berserk" carefully you can find a mention of one his compositions, "Karelia"

Aaro says:

However it's in Finnish - but - it may be also readable using Google's translation service (which I think it's fascinating although far from accurate :-)):
