I went in the new home brew shop1 in Folkestone today, and bought some beer making stuff! Time to dust off the old home brewing equipment, which I've not used all year. Going to make myself some beer this time instead of cider. Luckily I can use much of the same kit. It's a great shop, they have lots of the ingredients in there for doing it properly, but I'd need a bit more kit to do that. So I'm starting with a simple one, when I've drunk those forty pints I'll have a think about what to buy next.
There are lots of options for combining my DIY electronics hobby with the home brew, see brewpi.com2 for example, so I hope I can have some fun with this.
I'd like to make more cider but going to give the beer a go next.
