King Lake National Park

Recently had some work done on the car (new belts, tyres, engine and trans service) and took the car out for a spin to King Lake.

  Just fantastic

A-10A THUNDERBOLT

I had this model plane kit sitting around the house for the last year and finally decided build it.

The funny thing is that my Japanese flatmate knew what type of plane it was. Apparently the things fly OVER HER HOUSE in Okinawa... I guess she moved to Australia for a reason.

 

Made with BEER

Put in two brews 

First up The Hybrid 
Toohey's Special Larger 1.7kg brew tin
Organic Rice Malt 700g
Dextrose 1kg
Malted Wheat Grain (cracked and blended) 500g
Hallertau Hops (pellets) 25g
God only knows how this one will taste but if it comes out buggered it'll at least be highly alcoholic

Next a Pale Ale
Coopers Real Ale 1.7kg brew tin
Dextrose 1kg
Coopers brewing sugar 1kg
Crystal Barley Malt Grains (cracked and blended) 500g
Pride of Ringwood Hops 25g

I'm busy now working on another alcoholic creation.
That is turning 24 liters of apple and black current juice, two kilos of dextrose and some champagne yeast into sparkling cider.  

Food

My former flatmate Miki went back to Japan last week. Before she left I harvested some habanaro chills from the garden and got busy in the kitchen.
