So I (of course) had to check on the beer today – as it is in the first 24 hours off fermentation.

And it’s definetly bubbling – which I take as positive, the yeast must be doing it’s thing!

It’s still pretty cloudy – but I will exercise some patience.

Exciting! 

I’ve never brewed beer before (discounting the one time in Norway I tried brewing in a bag – it tasted like dishwasher water) so after out beer brewing course we decided it was time to put our learnings into practice.

First ensuring everything is at the correct temperature

Sparging – i.e. extracting the goodness from the grain etc.

Boiling – getting it going.

Getting the rolling boil going

And putting it into a (sterilised) fermentation jar.

Now all we need (Ihope) is patience and 2 weeks.
