Quoting: art bHere is a guide

Where ?

art b:
here is step 1 ...

this method is exactly as a brewery will  brew,
but on a small scale and without having to move liquid from one vessel to another too often,

select a grain bill...

here i have used

4kg marris otter barley
1 kg of caramalt a slightly roasted malt
1 kg of pale wheat

cost of grain around £6

the grains add different qualitys to the beer , taste, colour,head retention,mouth feel ...oh er missus ..




the home grown tomatoes were not used in this recipe ..

i used 100g of brambling cross hops, £2.00

art b:
step 2

the mashing, this is basically like making a pot of tea...

the pot is filled with hot water,150 deg,
 and a 1m square of voile is used as a bag ,
held in place with elastic around the rim of the pot,

the grain is stired in ...it now starts to smell nice...



this is left to mash for 1hr - 90 mins..
[during this time we made some lamb pasties]






i use a piece of celotex to retain the heat and throw an old duvet over the pot,




this takes place on the kitchen floor near the hot water and inside to retain heat ,
