Blog2015 ≫ Home brew is now barrelled

Beer is done, and as last time, I've bottled a few and put the rest in a barrel. Hope it turns out ok, will leave it to rest for a few weeks before drinking. Probably.

This means the raspbrewery beer thermometer is no longer in use. So I've put it in the beer fridge in the study:

At some point my home brew beer graph would have appeared here. I haven't done home brew for ages, it doesn't quite seem worthwhile, but maybe in times of austerity it will return.

I still call it a beer fridge, even though it mostly has soft drinks in it, don't tend to keep my beer in the fridge (I did have a Delerium Tremens from it last weekend though, ah the taste of stag dos!). I turn the beer fridge off off peak, in some misguided attempt to save energy. Now we can see at a glance if it's likely to be cold enough. Next time Clare goes on the exercise bike and wants a coke zero will it be a cold one? Or will it be luke warm and will she be furious?

Hmm I could make that on its own into an app couldn't I "is Clare likely to furious right now?"...
