The morning after the day before...........


 This is what I found when I came downstairs this morning... 7 empty bottles of David's Home Brewed Beer which was  a great success yesterday with the four and half beer drinkers that were here for my first 13th Party,  there were plenty of requests for... more please...  :-)

David has been brewing his own beer for more than 40 years now and our DSIL Timmy T has taken it up as well but he's gone several steps further by GROWING!!!!  his own Hops!

 He has only one vine which just about covers this Pergola in their back yard each year, they are hand picked...

 Pretty little things aren't they... then they are dried until ready for brewing and by all accounts but not from my own taste buds because I can't get past the smell, but from the taste buds of the true beer drinkers...   the results are truly wonderful!

Clever chap isn't he, our DSIL Timmy T!   Oh and David as well of course :-)

David saved these bottles for years and years, he'd get them from Restaurant rubbish bins and so on, they are still going good and are very strong, they even bounce! :-)
Here is an explanation...
The top used to be made of porcelain, but is now made of plastic. Bottles with porcelain tops are still in circulation in the Netherlands. They are popular with home brewers, as they are very robust and can easily be sealed by hand without the expense of new crown seals.
