One of the main reasons for heading Down Under last year was to see my good friend Tim. On
our fist night in Sydney we hit the local tap houses – Four Pines, Nomads and Seventh
Day – with his neighbour Ric. After a few I was eagerly convincing them to start brewing
at home… “don’t worry it’s easy; you’ll save a small fortune” etc, etc. Anyway, after a few
more they purchased the equipment: a Robobrew, FermZilla and mini kegs. The pressure
was now on me to prove my point! They are both big fans of Furphy beer so I came up with
this recipe. I’m glad to say that when I landed back in Blighty I was inundated with text
messages of two very proud new beer daddies. Beer daddies who on their very first brew
actually nailed it! Well done boys, and welcome to homebrewing.
