Been a bit slow on the brewing recently, a buddy in work gave me this Düsseldorf alt kit so I've had a go on Thursday
Also turned this cheap 33l AliExpress SS pan into a fermenter so we'll see how that goes.

Not the best hop harvest this year, got a bit more than pictured but only 200g in the end. Vacuum sealed and popped in the freezer.
Will be enough to finish my spring golden ale next year.
Variety: Goldings

Got a pile of sloes off a buddy so got a couple of litres of sloe gin started for Xmas!
The sloes were frozen, so the sugar hasn't fully dissolved yet, will probably take a day or two with occasional shaking I'd think.
