Festival beer is started!
Mar. 1st, 2009 11:01 pmAfter cleaning out the barrel until the water ran clear, doushkasmum and I discussed brewing today.
After waking at 7am, painting bits of kitchen, cutting and washing fabric, cleaning the barrel, cutting out MrPeacocks fencing jacket skirt, ironing the skirt, packing for Bash, taking Mr-bassman to his gig, driving home and changing, attending Monthly Bash and all it entails, heading off to Circa Carnivale, picking mr-bassman from his 2nd gig, ad then going to Lentil As Anything for dinner, I went slightly manic and decided that I had time for one more impossible thing before bedtime.
MrPeacock and I went to the supermarket and bought a second Cascade Golden harvest kit.
We made up the two kits with a #76 brew kit from brew craft, (1kg malt and dextrose and cascade hops) and another 1kg of dextrose. We now have 25L of beer, and the brix reading is 18. Thanks to Google, this means the alcohol content is expected to be about 9%.
The hops were soaked in the boiled sugar and water for 10 min(or maybe 20 if I read the internet for too long).
It's a lager.
PS. I thik my laptop has a cold. It ca't type n's
