How I made beer for the first time (properly)

I’ve recently been blogging about my experience of home brew; I first blogged about “My introduction to home brew“, then how “To make a scratter” and finally “Cider making, from fresh apples“. Whilst the latter two are clearly about cider – my passion – I’ve also been interested in wine making and beer making. So […]

To make a scratter

This post is my follow up to “My introduction to home brew” – after initially using 3 different home brew packs we decided we were ready to make something from scratch: cider. But in order to do this we needed apple pulp; the best way to pulp apples? A scratter!

ThinkTwit Update 1.4.3

Just a quick update to ThinkTwit: Updated the readme.txt, and both shortcode and Output Anywhere as there were some inconsistencies in naming but also some of the instructions were out of date and hence wrong.
