So what has been going on?

Lately I have been quite a lot of stuff, just havent been that good at writing here. That is something that needs to be remedied, as well as updating the recipes. Well, I have been updating those every now and then as I go along but to make it a habit is slightly hard. Perhaps I should have a computer next to me so I can write it down as I'm going instead of writing it on paper.

Anyway, I have bought some new interesting books! One about how beer brewing throughout history has been developed and also what role alcohol has played in human evolution. They are bout 6-700 pages each so it will take a while to get through them but the one about alcohol is the one I've started with and it seems to be very good. Extremely detailed on how different genes in the yest cells have changed throughout the years, some parts are way to advanced and you might need some kind of chemistry or biology degree to get it but nevertheless it's very interesting. The end goal with those books is to write a longer article or perhaps series of articles on what role beer and brewing have played for us in Europe.

At an event called Double Wars I held a class on how to use beer as a food source and also provided some samples to try. They were beers completely without hops, reason being I wanted to be as close as historical beers that the common folk had in medieval Europe. I think I went on talking for roughly an hour which was nice. Also got some nice input from a person who is very much into cooking and we could see a lot of similarites there.

And now I need to figure out what my next project will be, at the moment I have nothing fermenting at home. That is bad, very very bad.
