Home Brew Beer – Est. 2006

Since the last post I’ve been enjoying working my way through the Norfolk Nog. It improved considerably after the first tasting to a sweet dark beer with a good coffee-like aftertaste. It’s definitely a great improvement over my first brew. The bottled examples were not as tasty as the barreled stuff though, I think that this is probably due to lack of carbonation due to the bottle priming method I used.

Next up is a Sherwood Ale Best Bitter Kit which consists of LME and separate hops. Ive started reading “The complete joy of homebrewing” by Charles Papazian (Amazon.co.uk link) whcih suggests even kits can be boiled. I’ve accquired a 3 gallon boil pot for this purpose and might do it this weekend.
