A Home Brew Journey

Finally got round to having a beer tasting evening and the last brew was an all round success. Although we all need to brush up on our poker skills. But back to the beer, for some reason it was still a little cloudy even though it was in the fridge for about 4 weeks so I will need to refine that a little. After much sampling by all it was decided that it went down far to easily up to the point that we even got some manky shop bought beer in just in case we ran out. I must admit I was slightly proud of myself (even though it was a kit) everyone was impressed with the lager being in the glass bottles and at how it was not flat.

I think the thing with homebrew is that people are so used to commercial beers and lagers that it takes a while to appreciate the taste of a good brew. On a side note because it was looking as if we may run out I had an early sample of my pear Cider and it looks like it may be a bit of a dud brew. Its not that its bad but I think it could be better.

So I now have a list of requests/suggestions to carry out for my next batch of home brew like make more and creating labels for my bottles. So as soon as I have finished constantly working nights I will be right on it.


Official Review


"That was the best bottle of home-brew I've ever tried.
It was really smooth. It still had that slight home-brew'ish tinge to it that they all have but it was quite pleasant after a few sips.
The bubbles were fantastic, they were small and not overly fizzed yet lively and had elements of spring lambs leaping on fresh summer meadows. "
