In the Brew Room this Week

     We had to upgrade the home fridge this week so this means that the brew room now has a brewing fridge and with the addition of a dual controller for heat and cold we can now start to experiment with temperature controlled brewing and seeing what results come from that.
     I was supposed to be showing you a picture of the new controller here but they online store decided to ship the wrong one, how can anyone make a profit when they make so basic a mistake.
     In other news the Brambling Cross and  Boadicea hop trails have been bottled and are serving their 1 week sentence in the house before moving under the house to lager.
     We also tried the Strongbow clone and decided it needs a lot more time  with very strong peach scnapps aroma a perculiar taste which we think is the lactose powder, so it gets another month under the house and we will check again.
     I received 2 new books this week, YEAST by Chris White and Jamil Zainasheff and BELGIAN ALE by Pierre Rajotte. I look forward to putting some of their ideas into practice
    Punch and Judy took out the title for your favourite Murrays Beer.

Cheers and Beers.
