Coming up...

Blogging about brewing is, as I have found fairly rapidly, a bit tricky.

I've ran or contributed to a number of blogs over the last few years on many of my interests ~ shooting, politics, cooking*, etc, and have generally found that to make a blog reasonably successful you need to post regularly, ideally every day.

As I am only blogging about a brew after it is ready for drinking, and am only brewing every two weeks or so (more sometimes when I'm on annual leave from work, that sort of thing), that kind of limits my blogging material.

I'm thinking ways around this, but just so that you know I'm on the case, I will have the following appearing here soon;

• Coopers European Lager ~ kit with proper lager yeast, thus takes much longer and much more sensitive to temperatures. Brewed and bottled, but won't be ready for drinking (and thus blogging about) for another 12 weeks!
• Muntons Connoisseur Lager ~ not a lager yeast, racking into a Keg sometime this week, ready a couple of weeks after that, blog post then.
• Brewferm Triple ~ interesting kit, a couple of weeks in the fermenter plus 8 to 10 bottle conditioning, starting tomorrow, but will blog twice on this, the brew and the drinking, so brew post very soon, drinking post in about 10 weeks.
• Coopers Sparkling Ale ~ another interesting kit which I will be making more interesting (as kit brews go) by using re-activated yeast from proper Coopers Ale. Again, initial post within a week, drinking post several weeks later.
• My attempt at a Dunkel ~ brew post soon(ish) and drinking post later.
• An American IPA extract brew (brew post in a couple of weeks, drinking post sometime later).

I've also got a couple of ideas for  general informational posts to write, so keep checking back.

* these are separate blogs. Much as I hate politicians, even I haven't written one about shooting politicians and eating them. lol.
