Righto, today 29/10/10 was the first day of what will hopefully be a successful and lifelong affair with the art of brewing beer. Stage one, buy equipment and read basic instructions complete. Having taken note of important points, i have emptied the contents of said brew ingredients and added my own creative touch. One raspberry filled stocking immersed in the liquid before i emptied 7g of yeast and sealed the drum, should enable a good talking point for any aficionados lucky enough to partake in the spoils. The next stage of the process has a bath mat wrapped around my drum which sits alongside the hot water cylinder. Provided the temperature doesn't plummet to below 10 degrees, (this is Tassie after all) the fermentation process should roll along nicely. Need to check up on the brew in 2 days and top up the liquid with cold water. Fingers crossed this works because Christmas is in 2 months and the festivities will not be the same without it. The next big step, provided this works out for me, is to pay off the keg, tap and pipes so i can do away with the bottling process. At $450 bucks it's not cheap but worthwhile, and when there is two different beers in two separate kegs then i reserve the right to be known as sensai. Speaking of sensai, i must try and brew some Japanese beer, after all they do a mean brew.
