Yeasterday!

No, despite my record the spelling is correct.

Beer kit ready to go

Yesterday I spent an afternoon dealing with the two great uses for yeast.
After my midday swim I began my latest beer kit and also made some bread.
At present I am making beer using kits which can be purchased for between £15 and £24. It is a remarkably simple way to produce 30 to 40 pints of perfectly drinkable beer at a fraction of the cost to buy.

"Pitching" the yeast

Many specialist, micro and craft breweries have grown out of the home brew sector and some, like St Peter's produce kits for people to make their beer at home.
This is the simple, entry level to home brewing and during October I plan to make my first "all grain" brew! I buy my ingredients and kits at Hops and Vines in Witney and the team there have never been anything except encouraging and helpful.
The other part of Yeasterday was the Focaccia which took me several goes to spell correctly (even now I have doubts) This is a great loaf for a lazy lunch with some cheese and dried and cured meats - We're back to trying to work out salami again!
