Mad Hot Brewery

As part of a special combined birthday celebration for 2005, Ben/Sarah/Di/Brad have embarked on a journey. A beer-brewing journey. These photos document those first tentative steps...

Working out what to do...
Super-Beer-Ben, complete with eye protection for exploding bottles, rubber hammer for putting caps on and foam bottle draniers.


On our second brew already - sterilising bottles for Ginger Beer

Hrmmmm... that doesnt look like a Coopers brew to me???

I've got my second brew going atm... its a coopers pale ale - hope it tastes something remotely like the real thing!!
Best thing is, its will probably save me about $50 over the summer by making my own!

The first brew we put down was Coopers Pale Ale - it's just not a Coopers brand brewing kit.

We'll have to compare notes once the brews are drinkable! (Or not drinkable... whatever the case may be...)

Boo to beer - I hate the stuff! However, I do like your blog - very entertaining but with a social conscience. It's hard to find a blog that is not too serious, but not too freaky.
Good luck with your beer-brewing (ergh)

About to bottle my brew in a few minutes, so it wont be long beofre we can compare lol...
The ginger beer you are doing.. is that the Coopers one? I'm thinking of doing that next as well. I have a friend who uses some other ginger brew which tastes great so will be interesting to see which one is better.
