I haven&amp;rsquo;t done very many beers so far, but I find it very satisfying and rewarding. I&amp;rsquo;ve done a few kit brews with dry malt extract and one extract brew so far. I haven&amp;rsquo;t had any input into the ingredients I brew with before now - time for a change!&lt;/p&gt;

Palmer, for an Irish Red Ale (It&amp;rsquo;s called Ruabeoir in their book, which smacks of putting &lt;a href="https://translate.google.com/#auto/ga/red%20beer"&gt;&amp;ldquo;red beer&amp;rdquo; into Google Translate&lt;/a&gt;, but I digress…).&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
