Brewing from our own recipe

Simon and David and the ingredients for their first original beer

Simon and David and the ingredients for Light Christmas, their first original beer.

These are exciting times in the world of the Simon Alton and David Burrows’ home-brewing experiment . . . we have just started our first ever original recipe beer.

Okay, we might not be at the Neil Morrissey microbrewery stage, but we are currently working on something that has come completely out of our own heads.

I won’t tell you the recipe, just in case it’s the best beer ever invented (What? It could be!) but I will say that given the time of year we decided we wanted to give it a festive flavour. We’ve even called it Light Christmas.

The confidence to go for own recipe came from the success of our last brew in kit form.
