Happy Birthday for yesterday Ian sorry its late...Comment

Thanks very much guys, had a good day (apart from by back playing up, and a row with one of the sods across the road who parked in the middle of the road then stood there gouwping while i did several shunts to get in line with my garage, threatened to plant a hammer in his head,)
spent the day at my daughters, good meal etc, i got a "real ale" brewing kit so gonna set that up today, had a pint of the same ale my son started a while back and has just matured, very nice, a bit like Fullers london pride,which is a favorite pint of mine, no led cake tho!!
it was a night light and six fairy cakes!! wasn't room for the right amount of candles
mixing pain killers and real ale has sort of given me that "couldn't give a toss"
feeling, so chilling today

What's the kit you got Ian? I'd like to try something that tastes like proper beer rather than yeasty water!Cutting steps in the roof of the worldComment

Aye! thats the kit i got, very good, the pressure keg has a dual purpose valve for either releasing pressure if it should build up too much or by adding pressure (mainly need for lagers etc) i've sorted a nice "mini brewery in the airing cupboard it's all in the fermenting bucket at the mo, yeast added and my sons borrowed heat band connected up, gotta leave it alone now for approx a week then syphon it into the keg with some sugar and leave for about 4-6 weeks, i can see me investing in another keg so i have a constant supply1Originally posted by Apache View PostDamn you for posting that link!!!

some of the wine's look good too
tip my son got from a guy at the farm is to smear a little vasiline on the keg tap rubber and the top valve, his leaked a bit, raw stuff in the kit is like treakle and smells quite nice to me,Too young to die and too old to give a tossComment

Well Ian, just gone and done it!
A lot of those beers apparently improve by bottling and storing, which means if I get a few on the go, I might have a chance of hanging on to some for BBQs. I have a spare fishtank heater and a shelf ready in the workshop, and then its into the cellar (garage) for clearing / aging
