n my early days of brewing I brewed a Tom Caxton lager kit, Mrs H and I were in our courting days then and I decided to try out my new brewing skills to impress her. I did everything you should not do in those days regarding brewing, ie how much sugar does this kit need, 2lb on the instructions, I think I will use 3lb, fermenting temperature, the hotter the better, in the airing cupboard with it, doors closed, fermented in 3 days!
I presented her with a orangy coloured, flat, example of how not to make a brew type of lager. It must have had some taste though, but by the way she screwed her face almost inside out it was obviously not a pleasant one!
She resisted the temptation to pour it over my head, to this day when she asks me to make her a lager and I ask her if she would like a Tom Caxton kit I still get a sharp "No Thanks!" response, she has still not forgot about it!
