I have a little black book in my undy drawer.

It is a travel diary, when I take it traveling and it is a shed/home-brew diary, when I stay home. Here is a brief summary of the shed entries [amended] :

Monday 28th December 2009

Putting a brew on

• Morgans Blue Mountain Lager + yeast
• Dextrose/Corn Syrup/dried malt
• Morgans finishing hops (Hersbucker)

Good flavour, especially after I had left it for the full month! Hops were maybe a little harsh, try adding some lactose next time to sweeten it.

Previous brew from July 2009

• Black Rock Miners Stout

Came out OK flavour not always quite right probably from brewing temp being too high or perhaps not rinsing off all the meta-bisulphate also a little too much sugar at bottling so too fizzy.

Brigalow Ginger Beer

• tastes shit, explodes well.

Saturday 30th January 2010

• Building rudder

ran out of Norseal Epoxy Wood Preserver 50:50 500ml

Wednesday 10th March

Putting two brews on

• Bishops English Bitter [Morgans] – made in Queensland :)
• Smelt good, hoppy.
• Brewcraft English Bitter [Muntons of Stowcraft] – made in UK
• Lager Brew, Dextrose/Malt mix

Not sure if Cheri will approve of the barrels of beer in the front room for the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed that they don't ferment too excitedly – could get messy.
