Second Brew

My second attempt at homebrewing is currently in the keg conditioning - it's been there for nearly a fortnight and I'm finding it hard not to have a wee taste but I want to leave it for at least three weeks.

This time I've made an Ironmaster Nut Brown Ale 1.8kg kit - it was born on 4th October.
I learned one or two lessons from my first attempt and from some homebrewing forums (see links for "brew it yourself" and Jim's Beer Kit").
This time I threw away the kit yeast and used a Muntons yeast - rehydrating it prior to pitching.
I saw a definite difference in the vigour of the fermentation which resulted in a beer soaked carpet!
This time instead of ordinary cane sugar I used 1kg of brewers sugar.
Once I start drinking I'll be sure to let you know how it tastes.

I'm off now to start my next batch of wine.
