I went to the first Wellington beer festival on the weekend and it was awesome! Doesn't matter if it rained for most of the day, then really windy... but once the weather calmed down in the early evening, everyone started enjoying themselves even more.
After bottling my last brew, I have now decided that today was a great day to start again! *cue the Beastie Boys (remix)* "I Mix My Brew Down I Put My Brew Down It's Not A Put Down I Put My Foot Down..." I tried the first brew about a month after I bottled it and it tasted really sharp... too sharp (as if it needed more fermenting... sharp).
Today I went out and bought a brewing kit from http://www.greatexpectations.co.nz/! I had been thinking about brewing my own beer for a while and now I finally did something about it which was a good feeling.
