\"Bags
Bags of beer base warming whilst sterilising the bucket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the IPA bottled, I had nothing on the go for the first time in a long while.\u00a0 My researches on the IPA suggested that it won’t be at its best for three or four months (if it lasts that long).\u00a0 So I thought that I had better get going with my next kit, although it may not take as long to mature <\/a>based on my reading up in Home Brew forum.<\/p>\n

The kit was pretty comprehensive, even including the priming sugar.\u00a0 There are hops to add after a few days and a bag to help strain them off when syphoning.\u00a0 The instructions way better than the last one.<\/p>\n

\"500D_2156\"<\/a>I warmed the bags of beer concentrate in the bucket whilst sterilising it.\u00a0 I liked the bags.\u00a0 Easier than tins to deal with, especially if you just cut off a corner.<\/p>\n

\"500D_2159\"<\/a>After that it was all pretty standard:\u00a0 boiling water to dissolve the concentrate, then top up to 23 litres (5 gallons).\u00a0 Wait for it to cool down, then shove in the yeast.\u00a0 I just sprinkled the yeast on top this time rather than stir it in.\u00a0 By morning it was bubbling away pretty fast.\u00a0 My OG was a good bit lower than people in the home brew forum but hey ho, not much I can do about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
