Finally got around to making up a basic (mostly add water and stir) beer kit we purchased before Christmas at Cervezas del Mundo. Unfortunately, I have to report that this is the second time we´ve had to wait a while before the requested merchandize was available, and then wait another while for them to actually ship it. And this from a suburb of Madrid - you could drive there in about 20 minutes. I don´t believe they have a retail outlet, or that´s exactly what I´d do
Heating the malt extract
Stirring
Cooling and more Stirring
Fermenting
Unfortunately, no bubbling yet. I think the bedroom closet may be a little cool - but we will be patient.
AND we´ve got a sack of Bavarian Pilsner for another 23 litres!

ReplyDeleteSo, this is on my 101 Things list, and I actually registered for not one but TWO beer-making kits for my wedding, and people got both for us, but I've not yet had a free day to actually make the beer.
Hmmm.
Clear a 2 or 3 hour stretch in your schedule and make sure you have a giant pot that holds the right number of gallons, etc. It´s a process (cleaning, cleaning, cleaning)but it´s fun!
ReplyDeleteHic! Is it potent?
ReplyDeleteI see from the box that it´s 4 - 4.3 alcohol, which doesn´t seem excessive to me (but then I´m a lush).
