The Breakfast Beer.

It finished at 1008 so probably 2.7%. Objective was orange juice flavour. Think I've done it.  A bit more carbonation might help it - it's a bit thin - but it's a beer for a hot summers day, or morning, given the breakfast beer theme. Cue Summer.

This was from a can of pale malt extract but I don't think you'd know. I was surprised - it's the first extract brew I've done. 40 minute boil and steeping hops while I left the thing to cool down in it's own time (sealed).

So all the kit beer brewers really could get so more much out of their beers by going the extract route!

Lagged them. Despite being able to regulate temperature via the burners, truth is energy is not free. So I made my system look a bit more ugly, but a lot more efficient, by lagging it.

This is my 4th brew on my system.  More soon.

This one taken in the Bear and Billet in Chester on 22/03/2013. I lived in Handbridge once upon a time, that's a great pub, but none of these beers made a lasting impression.

Photo's Timestamp is right in the middle of my brewstand pics. Only reason I posted it.  Means I've been working on my project for too long..
