On the brew...

Two blogs in one day I hear you cry?  Yes, indeed, a double-whammy.  The inspiration for this second dose was motivated by the necessity to inform you of a new arrival in our house!  That's right, we have a new baby.  Well, I do anyway.  It's called Nelson's Revenge and hopefully it will aspire to the dizzying heights of 5.0% ABV.

I broke out the brewing products, cleaned my barrels and pipes and prepared the outhouse for 6 days of sincere, unadulterated fermentation.

Actually, in truth, I wasn't expecting anything to happen.  This kit had been lingering in the store cupboard for about 18 months, but I can attest to the yeasts activity.  I took a little movie:


I now need to stay patient and try to keep my extremely curious kids from breaking into the outside toilet and drinking my homebrew.  The latter will be more difficult to maintain.

I shall keep you updated as to how this brewing voyage transpires over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
