Ok, can you spot the real Dave? :)

Yep, it was Dave’s stag do at our friendly Ashurst campsite in the New Forest for Beer, Meats and more Beer. Everyone had a good time and it was nice to catch up with some old friends (and I don’t mean that literally!). Still there’s only so much beer you can drink…..or is there?

The beauty of these beasts is that you don’t need to add sugar or bottle afterwards as you can pour straight from the barrel. The only problem is that you only get a couple of weeks once ready to drink! I guess I’ll have to get some friends round to help taste. :) hick. If it works out I’m going to have to purchase one from here along with another Woodforde’s Wherry Bitter kit.

I did have to purchase a heat pad to put underneath the fermenting bin so it can raise the temperature to between 21 and 27C which is the ideal brewing temperature as I was getting around 18C. So now the beer has been bottled I’ve got to wait for another couple of weeks before I can taste it…. :)

Yep, that’s right I’ve brought a Coopers home brew set from The Home Brew Shop in North Camp Farnborough and made my first brew. It’s got about a week before it’ll be ready for bottling and then another two weeks before it’s ready for drinking. Stay tuned for the details of the drinking experience….. :)

Attended the Woking Beer Festival with the lads at the leisure center and consumed some very tasty beer. My favorite of the afternoon was Wells & Young’s Winter Warmer but it should have been my last of the day. Unfortunately I popped into the local on the way back for several more…….and then consumed several cans when I got home with dinner. Suffice to say the hangover the next day wasn’t very pleasant….. ;)
