Brew Numpty
Afternoon all, this is the Sunday when I donât brew, I put a brew on last Sunday and next Sunday on goes another one so just sitting here cruising the website, going through the beer kit reviews and planning up and coming brews. Also checking out the âhow toâ thread, for a beginner thereâs no better place for info. I thought that today Iâd crack a couple of bottles and see how theyâre coming along, I have a Coopers lager that was bottled on 25/01/15 and has now had two weeks hot and two weeks cold. I also have a Coopers English bitter thatâs had two weeks in the warm and went out into the shed today. I snagged a bottle of each, the lager was chilled enough and was very nice, in a month itâll be gorgeous, the English bitter I put in the freezer for forty mins and had a glass and for two weeks after bottling, itâs a stunner, so good that Iâm drinking my second bottle. They both have differing degrees of HP twang but thatâll clear but as theyâre my first two brews and they are drinkable Iâm happy as, so to speak, and I have a feeling that Iâll be having a bit of a doze come later on this afternoon. Whatâs prompted this post is that Iâm sitting here the wrong end of a bottle of lager and two bottles of English bitter (6+%) , my Coopers stout is next door having had a week in the warm and my FV is three feet from me with a Wilko Sweet Newkie Brown in it and I can hear it bubbling away. I have a Wherry, John Bull IPA and a Youngs harvest Pilsner and harvest lager lined up and at this moment Iâm stuck to think of a better hobby. Thereâs no denying, I do love my beer but what Iâm finding is that what I seem to love even more is brewing my own beer and then enjoying it. Anyway all, wishing you happy brewing and I think itâs time for a spot of late lunch and that doze I promised myself.
