DunBrewin'! -- Summer's finally here!

Post by fivetide » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:37 pm

Well despite the rain and general fug, it's definitely getting warm at my home and so I'm packing up my paddle and hydro for a month or so, how about you lot?

Here's my summer legacy - I'm hoping it's all healthy in them there kegs!

From left to right:
Boxes of brewing paraphenalia, CO2 bottle, full Corni of Midas Touch with a couple of overflow bottles, hugely depleted King Keg of Great Eastern Cascade, full Corni of Great Eastern Bramling with a few overflow bottles, nearly full King Keg of Smugglers, cuddly toy, pickling bottles, toys...

I could kick off another in the fermenter in the shed/garage I guess and clear that top King Keg out, but we're in full nesting mode here now and it's certainly time to get the FVs out of the front room :)

H&G luxury!

I chuck all my Badger and St Peters' ones in the bottle bank and buy those.

Utter madness (but they're nice)

The shed was perfect temperature in the Spring. I's a little warm now, but one day next Spring it may house my first AG experiments!

Baby on the way! I need to prioritise my time / money /space on other things for a wee while, mad though that seems. Dangnammit! :)

tell her about the massive savings you will make brewing your own Gripe water for the wee one. It will take a lot of testing to perfect mind.

Wiki says some gripe water is as much as 3.4%
