So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Searching For Online Brewing Supplies

By Mark Turner


A large number of people make their own beer and wine at home as a rewarding hobby. As well as the kits and special ingredients needed to make wine and beer there is a certain amount of specialist equipment required. When you are looking for online brewing supplies there are many suppliers available and there are some important things to consider.

The internet based stores will have massive stocks of items for you to look at when you are ordering and buying. Web suppliers are a good place to buy from if you are new to home brewing and they will have all of the necessary equipment you need. Their web sites will also list contact details so that you can get in touch with them before buying.

Buying from an internet based store has some benefits including the low prices and the huge range of products that are offered. An internet supplier will be in a position to sell their products cheaper than a high street store as they have lower running costs. Many of the web sites will have a testimonial section where you can read comments from their customers which you may find useful before you order.

Making beer and wine at home is not expensive and a batch of your favorite beer can be produced quite cheaply. A kit to make a batch of beer can be purchased for around 50 dollars and this will contain everything needed to produce beer apart from water and sugar. A wine making kit comes in at around 30 dollars and they come in different varieties of red, white and rose.

A few items of basic kit will also be required before you begin to produce your wines or ales at home. A vat or kettle is needed to ferment the liquid as well as a decent hydrometer to test the alcohol levels and some cleaning equipment. It is essential to sterilize your equipment before brewing, and after, to avoid contaminating your brews with bacteria.

You can also find items for the more advanced beer and wine makers on the suppliers web sites which may be of interest. Glass bottles, caps and customized labels are available which will make your products look more professional. Handmade oak barrels are also available for the amateur wine makers to mature their wines prior bottling.

If you wish to progress from using starter kits you can buy separate ingredients from an internet supplier and make a brew to your own recipe. Various malts, hop mixes and brewing yeasts are available as well as special additives to enhance your creations. Some of the online retailers will have chat section on their sites to allow beer and wine makers to swap recipes and share ideas.

When you order and buy items online you need to add the costs of shipping to your order value. Some companies may offer discounted or free carriage if the order value is high and this can save a few dollars. You should always ensure that your items are insured against loss or damages while they are in transit.
