It was a partial mash brew, although pretty straight forward it took about six hours all in all - sucks not having gas for the boil! Check out some pics from the brew day.
A good stout is definitely one of my favorite styles of beer so this was something I just had to do. I was hoping to have it for winter, but sadly my plans got delayed and it only managed to come out towards August/September...didn't change the taste though! It was so good (even if I say so myself) some folk even managed to change their "I don't really like stout that much, but I will try it" into "wow, I can really like this one" to their own suprise might I add. Yes, this is one I am pretty proud of and I have to thank the guys from Beerlab for hooking me up with the kit, although I added one or two ideas to it...

At first getting into the world of brewing your own beer can seem a bit daunting: what is a hop? where does the malt go when it melts? How does the yeast stay in the bucket? All these silly questions and fears/doubts can make it seem a bit overwhelming so I took the safe route and started with a beer kit from Coopers - two actually. The first one was a Canadian Blonde beer - a lagery ale type beer - but hey if you brew it yourself it doesn't matter what it tastes like hey! Second up was an Aussie Pale Ale. I definitely could have jumped straight to partial after the first kit beer, but I had already ordered this online so had to make it. Check out some pics from the Canadian Blonde brewing process - so easy you can do it in 45min if you follow my little tutorial. No more excuses that you do not have time to give home brewing a chance! |
