Scrapped my plans to go down to Lavender today - the sun was too good to miss! Spent the morning finishing up on the new stuff I got myself yesterday, and then off to the beach!
Anyway, here are some pics of what I've been up to:
Anything to keep my dad away ... hehe

And .. the revelation!

Yeah, going mad. I'm actually brewing BEER at home - or rather, in the toilet, of all places. Getting the malt ready was quite a pain though, with all the disinfection and the boiling and lugging all 23 litres in the barrel up a flight of stairs. In any case the fermentation's going strong now with frequent bubbling of the air lock at the top (allows CO2 to escape). Brownie ended up picking a fight with the fermenter this morning - the bubbling sound irritates him somehow. Ooh. 4 more days before I can bottle the beer, and 2 more weeks before finally drinking it - if it's not contaminated and poisonous, of course.
And the real reason why I'm doing this:

A small, 5-litre carboy sitting in my room. Remember Madam Rosmerta? First attempt at mead!
