MASHED ISSUE 18

An awesome brewery came on to our radar a few years ago, and ever since we have been keen to get them into MASHED! But here’s the thing: they are an alcohol free (AF) brewery, and we know that you guys like a drop in your drop. But recently we put a poll out, and found that almost 80% of you do enjoy an AF brew. Find out more and read about Drop Bear Beer Co here. Their secret lies in traditional brewing methods; we’ve gone a bit trad recently too with our brew days focused on British standards. You’ll see this in our recipes. Though Yohanna has gone rogue by including her new beer snack obsession, the Danish Smørrebrød. They’re spot on if you’re entertaining. Click here for some Scandi cool at your drinking table. Talking of which, because temperature control is such an important part of brewing (including AF free brewing), Gareth is always tinkering with equipment to help master the perfect brew. Take a look at his tech review on here for the latest gadget in his brew cellar. 

Thanks so much for your support again this year. If you have any suggestions for articles and recipes for future issues of the mag, send us a line or two. See you in the new year, and hopefully we’ll meet some of you at the MASHED! Tournament in April, find out more here.

Cheers, Yohanna & Gareth

KegLand RAPT Temperature Controller

Like so many of our customers at Dark Farm Homebrewing, I’m always looking for ways to improve my brewing experience. Happily, there are new products arriving on the market all the time to help us with this. One of the brewing processes I’ve been focusing on is temperature control.

Beer Snacking Smørrebrød

In our household, Gareth is the undisputed king of anything pastry. Pies, sausage rolls, wellingtons, he is the man to go to. All of which make excellent accompaniments to beer. But recently I’ve thrown my hat into the ring, and brought an easy-to-make, yet smart and outstandingly good snack to the drinking table. Enter the Danish speciality, smørrebrød.

The Homebrew Club

It’s said that a glass of beer can turn any person into a philosopher. Our recent homebrew club social illustrates this perfectly. An evening which witnessed conversation traverse topics from country wines to luxury watches and guitar scams, to dating woes, and tripping up our future selves by lacking method in the present.

GAS MIXES

How do you serve your beer? While you can of course simply pour your brew into a glass from a bottle or can, bringing gas into the equation can elevate your brew. But how do you go about it? Gareth Davies tells us how.

Mastering the MULTI-STEP Mash

One of things I enjoy about homebrewing is that, on one hand you can craft great beer from very simple methods, on the other hand, you can try out more advanced techniques to refine your brews. If you like to dabble, and are interested in how things work, the science behind brewing can be satisfying to delve into. One area that it particularly useful to try is the multi-step mash.

BREWING Notes

Well done for making it through another year. We can’t thank you enough for your support. It’s always a pleasure working with you, this year especially. It’s been a tough one for all, with costs of living soaring, and world politics a mess. But at least we have comfort in our homebrew!
