So I've started to brew my own beer. Finally, after years of wondering what it would be like to be a brewer, sampling hundreds of different beers, I've started.
What's it like? Complicated. Or at least it seems on first impression. There's sterilisation of equipment, temperature readings, SG measurement. What it boils down to however is quite straight forward when you use a kit. Open the can, pour it in, stir in brewing sugar or brew enhancer (I went for the latter), top it up, add the yeast and stick the lid on.
One thing is... I'm not sure it's working. Fermentation. I've read that you have to wait and wait some more. Be patient.
I'll keep you posted. Also, keep an eye on this blog for a photograph of the brewing bin. Excited?
