Beer Making & Gardening

Ok, so I think that it is time that I took over the blog - I've always had a dream of being self sufficient.... growing my own... Never thought that I could brew my own Beer, so here we go. 1st brew was a Nut Brown Ale, Bought from a home brew shop (I never knew these existed.... Big city boy, born & bred).

So this is me bottling up the 1st brew... Just for the british guys, I brewed 40 pints for the price of 4 pints in London. Dave, just so you know, I'm gonna need a hand to drink all this.

Ok, so now on to the gardening.

We are in winter here, so not much grows, but compared to England, not much, means.... Shit loads of things still grow.

we are growing a load of herbs in troughs & I've spent some time cultivating the land, ready for our summer crop.
