Monday, April 04, 2005. It’s time to setup the brew! I’m somehow skeptical if everything works out as expected. One can make so many mistakes and Murphy’s Law knows that I will. But hey, we should start our endeavor with the required optimism. The mixture will turn into tasty beer, or – yet another soft drink… I expect to get a kind of sweet and amber beer, called “Landbier”. I used half of the concentrate to produce about 10 liters. This is what I’ve done so far:

• Pic01: The tools and ingredients: concentrate + yeast, bucket, measuring jug, manual
• Pic02: Close-up Bier-Dose – the product is called BIER KWIK
• Pic03: Around 800g sugar will be transformed into alcohol and carbonic acid

• Pic04: The tin with the concentrate is heated in order to make it liquid
• Pic05: Danish sugar, in the background the tin in the pot
• Pic06: The first view of the concentrate, after opening the tin

• Pic07: Self-portrait, after putting the concentrate into the bucket
• Pic08: Steam arises, after adding 2 liters of boiling water – Stir, baby, stir!
• Pic09: Now it’s time to add and stir 7 liters of cold water

• Pic10: 10 liters base material
• Pic11: The yeast, used to start the fermentation process
• Pic12: The mixture after adding the yeast

• Pic13: Everything done so far – now it’s time to wait
• Pic14: The depository for the swill
• Pic15: Stylish Systembolaget cover

Nun dann: Gut Ding will Weile haben…
