We have been commissioned to make a beer for someones 60th birthday. A British guy who lives not far away and has a great interest in brewing and pigs. Doug has named it 'The Don Anniversaire Beer' what a clever plan on words :)
Doug made it while I was in the UK. It uses malt extract and a mini mash (which is a small amount of speciality grain - crystal malt in this case - boiled with the extract and water) and is similar to a recipe we have made before. Hopefully it will go better than the
all grain one we made recently.
The party is on the 27th Dec so it will be put in the 'barrel' (plastic container) a couple of weeks before that to condition (get it's fizz)
