Made it in the kitchen
This has been on my list of things to do for a while. How long do you leave them?
The first fermentation in the buckets was out in the shed for about 6 weeks but it didn’t need to be that long. Bottled it at the weekend (just like the Limerick hurlers). Needs two weeks in the bottles in the shed and a week in the fridge. Smelled right when I was bottling it.

No we don’t. I knew I’d get a bottle jibe so I thought I’d get the first dig in.

Was in that industrial estate in Glasnevin during the week and passed by a homebrew supply shop, can’t remember the name but must call in some day. On my to do list this.
Ok we* are about to go live here. 36 pints of cream stout raring to go. Have just finished the laborious task of sanitizing everything and we’ll be making the mix soon.

We have lift off. The distinctive bloop de bloop through the airlock has started.

How do you gauge or measure the strength of the beer?
By how drunk it makes you?

bottled this just now. Two more weeks to drink it. It has to bottle condition. Had a sneaky taste of it and at the moment it tastes like bottled Guinness
