Sunday morning, and it's brewing day today. I'm starting to run out of my last batch of homebrew, and I'm not happy paying about $60 for a case of commercial beer (that I don't really care for). Anyway, I found another little brewing supply house in Albion Park; and I'm all set up to cook up a batch of my flagship brew  - Förnikatör. It's been a couple of years since I made a batch of the good stuff. 

Well, actually I'm doing the poor man's version today - with extract instead of a full mash. Just like I did in my early twenties before I discovered the fine art of mashing. The extract version runs about $15/case. I'll cook up the full on version maybe next time around. Turns out the road services here won't deliver a 25kg (~ 50 lb) sack of malt - and nobody around here will sell one. So it looks like I'll have to get a sack split in half and sent in from Sydney in two separate shipments. That runs up the cost a little bit, but it works out to about $8/case. However that still works out as a good value; especially for Förnikatör - the absolute best beer on earth.
