With temperatures rising slightly after the storm I ventured out to the still very chilly garage. I gathered my gear together and washed it all out using the cleaning and sanitising products. Managed to avoid tipping the gear down the drain too, which was a good start.
I tipped the malt mixture into the barrel and filled it up with water. I had heard that the ginger beer can be a bit temperamental and the flavour wasn't all that gingery. On that basis I decided to grate up a bit of fresh ginger from the fruit and vege market and then I tipped it into the mix. A bit of yeast on top, lid on and we would see how it goes.
First reading - 120, 50, 2.5%, 25° (I promise one day I will find out what that all means)
