Hare of the Dog Brewing
I've been brewing now for several years. when I got
interested I wanted to test the waters before committing so I got a Mr Beer kit and
found the fun in making my own beer. I bought 3 books and found howtobrew.com
and homebrewtalk.com . I then designed (well made) my KISS All grain brewing set
up for less than £100 using some bits I already had. I make very good beer very
easily, quickly and very cheaply. At current prices it is costing in ingredients around 15 to 20 pence
per pint of premium craft brewed Ale and it takes me around four hour to brew. I love English bitter and Ales so I have a
reasonable narrow recipe base but this does allow me to try and perfect recipes
and techniques. I also make ciders and wines. Check out some of my recipes below. |

"They take wheat
barley, spelt, rye or oats, either one kind, or two or three together; they
steep them in a fresh spring or good running running water or (which is even
better) in boiled hop water, until the grain bursts out. Then the water is
run off and the grains dried in the sun. The water in which the grain is
steeped is kept; when the grains are dry they are ground in the mills and
the meal is putis put into the aforementioned steep water. It is let boil
for three to four hours and the hops added and all boiled up to a good
froth. When that is done it is filled into other vessels. Some put a leaven
into it and this soon gains a sharp biting flavour and is pleasant to
drink." |
