YES !!! – Finally, after feck knows how long I have indeed brewed some beer.  Flawless – NOPE, but beer nonetheless. I was rather planning on making the Zoom Brew day this time – promised myself if my back was better (which it is was), I would hop on the brew day and join the “bants” and make a brew.  Did I make it, no of course not but then what did anyone really expect. […]

These certainly are unprecedented times; I don’t just mean all the silly idiotic shite that’s occurring outside of the front door, but just in general.  The biggest thing to hit me in the last 6 months isn’t even this bloody virus – it was far worse…being left without proper internet access for nearly a week ! I have just come back from 4 nights away in a caravan (referred from a lodge we had booked […]

“My Little Brewtools Heaven” Building the Great Tap Wall Well we are finally making some progress – what I would call decent progress anyways.  For those still following and that haven’t yet fallen into a coma waiting for the progress updates; my little brewery is split into two parts (well, technically 3 but the 3rd is in the Garage part I lovingly call the cellar).  The above is my brewing sector – this is where […]

Part Deux Hi fellow Brewers.  Have a guess how much of the outstanding list from Part One that I have completed..? Yep, next to fuck all; I am completely useless – arghhh. Well that’s not strictly true – I have made some progress albeit with much help from the outside.  I shall list where I am now in my list to perfection and when, hopefully I can expect to commence my brewing empire. Brewery electrics […]

Part One Two Part Blog Entry – sort of a self motivator.  I need to get my arse moving in the brewery.  To be fair I have all that I need to get brewing, my procrastination around more wiring and lighting is a self imposed distraction; I have a light in the brewery and 32 amps of Power – there can be no further excuses.  By the close of this here Saturday 16th May 2020 […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to Delilah One – here in all her Majesty the Brewtools B80 Pro.  I shall give you a short moment to drink her in (pun not pardoned !!!).  The Lady in her Box OK, I jest of course – no one wants to see her fully clothed – so let me tease you with a little lingerie (note soft focus – wink, wink) 🙂 “See anything […]

Well…it’s like this. I have been very busy accruing more gear, deciding on what to update, replace and outdate – been dealing with redundancy plans, COVID-19 and the likes…  and during all this, I haven’t brewed a single drop.  Shocking. However, it is now 27th April 2020 – the world is admittedly still mad and after this weeks holiday I have just 3 more working weeks before I leave my current role so I had […]

Ladies and Gentlemen … Nearly Brew Day !

Well, it’s like this you see – I have been quietly emptying my supplies and getting ready for a step up in both production and quality control whilst at the same time updating the brewery.  I don’t really have any excuse other than I have nothing or no one to blame but myself.  Still, I am well into a second week off work and I have finally made some progress. I previously posted pictures of […]

Well, over a month since my last post – always late but there you go. So – what have I been up to?  Well I have been busy brewing (and drinking of course).  On my last blog I had mentioned that I had 3 brews on the go – Summer Ale, Hob Goblin Ruby Ale clone and Oatmeal Stout (that I will add a cherry enhancer to from Mangrove Jacks).  Well, as I type all […]
