Man, it was cold down here in the Southland over the weekend. How to warm up the house? I know! Boil some Scottish Ale!
That was quite a bit of work, so I treated myself to steaks. Great grilling weather. 23 degrees. I could set my homebrew down and it did not get warm!
Happy to report that the air lock is bubbling away this morning. This Brewer's Best (LD Carlson) kit, if it lives up to the great reviews, is one of the best values on the market. For $29.50, you get the usual grains, LME, DME, grain bag, hops, AND the priming sugar, yeast and even bottle caps. A lot of kits make you buy those last bits extra. We'll see. I do like that two of these kits exceed the $50 requirement at my supplier for free shipping.
I also have a more pricey Northern Brewer Scottish Ale kit for later. It will be nice to compare and contrast.
