New Year Brewday

[DirtyCaner]

Hi Everyone,

Last year I did an epic double brewday with one of my mates and planned to do it again this year. To start with I really coudn't be bothered, I've been full of cold last few days and just wanted to lie about feeling sorry for myself. So after a slightly late start, setting up at 10, we got the first mash on the go at 11am. A lager with Saaz and Bobek, OG 1042. Second brew was a variation on my APA recipe with extra Nelson and Pacific jade, OG 1052.

Turns out my Saflager 23 was 2 months out of date but I chucked it in anyways. If its not bubbling by Monday I'll chuck another in. The APA has started fermenting nicely.

With the brews out the day we knocked up a nice beef Madras before bottling a gallon of Rosey WOW. Then settled down to enjoy the Madras and some WOW (not too bad this time round!) whilst appreciating the finer points of 'Zombie Flesh Eaters 3'. A productive day but knackered today!

Cheers,

DirtyC

Looks good.

I am loving the idea of a double brew day.....with curry and films to finish with!
