"If you study the rhythm of life on this planet, you will find that everything moves in perfect symphony with everything else - by grand divine design. This perfect orchestration of the cycle of life is one of the Creator's greatest and most beautiful miracles."
Suzy Kassem
As the school holidays start the puppies are overjoyed for they get to visit their church more frequently.
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Also this time of the year is about beer and ginger beer making. It is so satisfying to make a lovely brew, but also terrifying when it goes a bit wrong. Last year we lost quite a few bottles that tasted nice but had absolutely no fizz! For a couple of chemists we got it wrong with the temperature of the second fermentation cycle, putting the bottles downstairs but not figuring on the low overnight temperatures to halt the process.
This year we have kept the bottles upstairs, but also we had a first cycle (in the bucket) slow down and then stop due to low temperatures. So outside in the sunshine and then some adding of hot water and stirring and away she went again - hopefully the product (which does smell nice and was bottled yesterday) is worth all the effort.
We started another brew last night and paying closer attention to temperature this is the result:
Early brews have been great and we highly recommend the process and the product.
