Making beer

Although it was a million degrees in the sun, we decided to light the super powerful gas burner to make beer to heat us up just a little more...

We haven't made a brew since May last year (!)and have been meaning too for AGES. It will be fermenting for maybe a week in this temperature and be ready in a couple of weeks after that (just letting you know so you can time your visit). It is a Three Crops or 'Quaffing beer' which is a nice light summer ale, with maize, rice and bittering hops which are boiled but non added later for aroma.

We need to stock up on some beer kits which are easier/quicker to make so we can fit it in with working and the renovation.
