It’s been a year, almost to the day, since my last beer brew. So today I began work on a Chocolate Stout.

So we’re all planning our next brews, but in the meantime, check out my mate’s link www.scrabblefinder.com. It is awesome. Have fun!
I haven’t brewed anything in ages. The year so far has flown by, and it’s almost time to start planning my Christmas brews again!
Mead is so easy to make, and after telling friends about it a few want to try it. So this is a guide on how to make it for people who are very new to brewing. This post looks long, but this is simply to provide a complete guide on the brewing procedure.
I’ve been talking about using jam to brew for long enough. So today I did it. Similar to the mead recipes, this uses a couple of jars of strawberry jam. I hope it will taste nyom.
Right so a mate of mine called Eoghan brewed up some mead today, to be ready for a deadly barbecue during the summer. I’m drooling thinking about it already. Might see if I can get some reindeer for it. Here’s his recipe anyway: just stick the ingredients in a 5 litre water bottle, shakey shakey, and stick a balloon on top as an airlock. Grand.
Right so I came up with a possible recipe for mead last night, involving raisins and peaches. The mead I currently brew (honey only) is very dry, but could be a ‘base’ for a sweeter drink. Whatever method I use, I want to serve it with a slice of peach in the glass. Nyom.
Mulled wine is yum. It’s made up of red wine and a spice syrup. With this recipe you can make a batch of syrup which will keep for AGES. The longer you leave it, the better the flavours will infuse.
