Greetings, Flixon Breweries Here,
Just a quick update on our brewing status. In the light of the arrival of children on my side, we've started brewing in a ridiculous panic.
Just took out 40-odd bottles of Roddy's turbo cider, tuned towards raspberry and lime, it's clear as a bell, and registers at a nice 5%. We've brewed it stronger before, but it got us completely cabbaged. We trialled it on Russell's Auntie at a summer barbecue and she started what seemed to be an impromptu war dance and she's usually such a pleasant soul.
We've got American IPA bottled, a 'Geordie lager' bottled, bottles of merlot, which is a lovely fruity taste chilled or room temp. We've been drinking this throughout our brew day today.
Today we've thrown in 40 pints of 'Hammer of Thor', and a sauvignon blanc, about 20 bottles, Ready for Christmas.
We've decided that we don't rush a fermentation. Patience is key. We leave it longer, and we've had some great readings from the bobber thingy, lovely getting the max from the yeast.
We've also got demijohns where we've trialled small batch wines. Elderflower was brilliant, almost hallucinogenic, and we've had a couple of great nights on that, and we've got some blackberry wine in. We plan to try the Worzels WOW very soon indeed.
Anyway, hope all is well in the community, and thanks again for all the starter tips. We really enjoy our work, keep learning from our mistakes, and not a penny to the Chancellor.
Take care,
Russ and Chris
