Bottle the brew!

So today with some help from my good buddy Craig we bottled some of the home brew. Think I used too little priming sugar, but drink I will drink it!!!

Beer Brew - day 2.5

So we have some beautiful active fermentation which can barely be contained in the bucket...i have had to wrap it up in a blanket to keep it at the recommended temp which has made the lady a bit sour :-P

Beer brew - the Canadian Blonde

So after much deliberation I decided to give this brewing thing another go. With some inspiration from a recent visit to a craft beer fest...and payday...i managed to order the second batch of bear necessities which I did not have thirst time round. The site I used was www.beerlab.co.za - a wide range of goods at good price and cheap delivery.

My order of PVC hose, Canadian Blonde Malt Extract, Brew Enhancer #1 and a two lever bottle capper arrived on Thursday and all that was left was to get a Hydrometer and start prepping. I have been looking forward to brewing for weeks now watching youtube videos and reading up everything I can...really getting in the spirit of things.

Today after work I managed to get all the cleaning and sanitizing out the way and then hit the shops for some bottled water...just in case the tap adds a funny taste. All in all I had a good time, prepping, planning and finally starting off my batch.

Hopefully this one one reaches the bottles and eventually my mouth !..!,
