My beer keeps poping the lid of the fermenter up. Its got to be good stuff. I already got a keg ready on Friday from town.
By-The-Way: Chris is alive. He has not run off or dead. Just indoors. :P as the picture shows.

My first brew with hops
Today I made some beer. Funny sentence.
I'm using a coppers stout kit with some added hops and malt. Following "joy of home brewing" by Charlie Papazian cushlomachree stout recipe.

On the right you can see the amazingly complex Australian instructions on which end to open.
This is the malt extract kit I used as a base.

The main Hop I used is the Cascade for boiling then the Willamette to finish. The malt I used is a crushed roasted barley (seen below with cascade hops) 
It all should be done in 21 days. 5 days till I put it all into a keg.
Well tomorrow I have to go to a beer festival. What a shame (over sarcastic).

Rainy day...
I decided to do a rather more personal post compared to most posts on here. Its been raining for a while now and the only thing on tv is snooker.A few things to tell is that I'm really enjoying using firefox 2. Lots of features I like but I love the spell checker and improved search bar/box. The innovation simply makes IE7 look like its from stone age. Its good to see Firefox 3 and 4 are in the works. If you want to install Firefox 2 on ubuntu now then you should try out this script. I had no problems.
My beer ingredients arrived.
I should be making some beer tomorrow. I'm planning on making some stout that's like the Murphy's Irish stout for Christmas. It will be something to do.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout
This version of guinness is 7.5%It has a very strong taste. Roasted malts and coffee.
Did not like it as much as the special export (bottle on the right) which might I add is amazing.
Im not a beer reviewer so ill get stright to it... 2 of these your light headed.
Dont have much to say about the beer really. If you like Guinness extra/original you will most likely like the rich taste of this stout.
I found it in sainsburys... if anyone cares to find it.
Rating: Good drink just not as good as special export
As you can see am a professional at rating beer
Overall: Good.
If anyone has anything to add then your welcome to...
sidenote: I'm running out of guinness to review!

Guinness special export
Found this one in the mallard from ben. I been drinking it for a bit now.Brewed in Éire sold in Belgium found in a local pub... on bottle of course.
Ben took a picture in the pub with flash, which scared everyone there. (not the picture in the left. Ill add it when I get it.)
Comes in a small bottle at 8%. Tastes like Guinness Original/Extra Stout but has a more rich taste to it. This is more like an imperial stout. Very strong. Definitely my favourite beer.
Rating: I couldn't remember walking home
As you can see am a professional at rating beer
Overall: Amazing
