So I did my first brew for a long while about a week ago with a mate whose keen on getting into the brewing himself. And today, I transferred that brew into bottles and keg. It was a coopers K&K euro lager, with kit yeast etc. I just bought and used for the first time, a filter to clear the yeasties out (except for the 5 longnecks I bottled). I'm looking forward to trying it!
Then with all the excitement, and brew gear out of the cupboard, and whilst it was all clean etc I thought I'd put another Kit on to brew straight away. This time a Morgans Blue Mountains Lager. Differently to how I normally brew, I thought i'd boil the whole lot in the stock pot. It was very full, and I was careful not to have it boil over. It was at that point when I thought how wonderful the smell was of the hops and malt. That's when Mrs. hando came in, and whinged and whined about this and that. At first I couldn't hear her over my daydreams about being in brewing heaven. But when I came to reality I discovered that she actually vomited because the smell was so bad!!!
Well, what do you think I did? I laughed of course! And I got in trouble for that too, as you'd expect.
So she's sleeping on the couch tonight LOL - just kidding.
