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". |

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. |
