I’m brewing a new batch of beer – Black Rock Lager. It has been very cold for the yeast, but I have the vat on a heating pad which I switch on at night. The air-lock has been bubbling away, so the yeast lives. Hopefully will be good in a couple of months time.

The beer which I brewed back in June is almost drinkable. It’s still a bit yeasty, but is definitely alcoholic.

I started brewing a batch of beer – Black Rock, East IPA.   I took some photos, but my camera has finally died – see previous post about needing a new camera.

The real news will be in the tasting in a couple of months time.  If I don’t post anything then it’ll be because it is a failure.  At least I’ve got the right amount of water this time.  Not like the last batch where I tried to follow two sets of instructions at once and added 3 litres too much water.  The main problem this time is I’ve lost the temperature guage, so don’t know if the liquid is too hot or too cold.  I’ve put a heating pad under the vat because it is getting cool at night.
