I'm a home brewer with an interest in making good beer, cider, fruit wine, sake & mead. I'm a film photographer on hiatus; I have a Bachelor of Computing & a fancy MBA (with an added specialisation in Journalism & Media Studies). Kampai!!
Yeasties pitched and hard at work building their little selves into an army fit for beer production... but I'm shagged and thank heavens tomorrow is Friday again.

Brewing outside on the porch tomorrow on the gas burner - Mosaic Superdelic American Pale Ale. It's been a while since I ventured out into the elements to make a beer.

Today's brewing job is to keg that cream ale I have downstairs. With the doppelbock gone there's a vacuum that needs filling behind one of those kegerator taps.

RAPT products not working after router upgrade and all the advice in every direction involves me having advanced IT skills and/or money to purchase something new. I don't think it's good enough that reasonably expensive products just stop working. Apparently it's my problem to solve.

Now for round 2 of the five hour epic I like to call - mowing and whipper snippering the garden. Double block, all sorts of uneven crannies and rocks and hedges... it's a mission.

12 litre keg soaking and kegerator beer lines to clean... that was only my second best doppelbock (of two doppelbocks I've ever made) so I'm looking forward to backing the next one off a little closer to what the first one drank like... that small keg went in a heartbeat.

I feel sympathetic to all those guys who aren't allowed a kegerator in their lives. Having yet another beer for them. And mostly me.

Rubbish week lost to dealing with IT issues so drinking Thursday night Doppelbock for some mental compensation. Yes... 8.7% ABV... but it's not like I have work tomorrow, just more IT issues.
