Lomma fiesta

Last night Brandon, from my course, came to my house in Lomma where we had a small cooking and brewing fiesta.

After setting the scene with a Twisted Thistle IPA from the System Bolaget, we started brewing my first batch of homebrew ever. It was sort of exciting.

As every homebrewer on the first time, I was pretty nervous and wanted to make sure everything went just right. Brandon was more along the lines of "naaah mate don't worry. She'll be right, just chuck it all in there and giz a swirl!" It seems like he was right because I checked it later on and some small bubbles appear to be forming, which means the the yeast is doing its work!

After that we had some Green 9s and some Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cab.

Roast chicken and vegetables accompanied by some potato mash were for dinner in payment for Brandon's beer making guidance. Num num num num :)

The great thing about having people over is that you can get them to do all the work and reap the rewards. Apart from almost cutting his finger off, Brandon did a good job skinning the apples and cutting them up for jam and cake, which both came out well.

Sorry for the terribly boring "my-life-is-so-interesting-so-you-should-read-about-it-and then-and then-and then-and then" post, but thats life :)
