So, as you might already be aware, Mrs Maker deals with
fabric, wool and anything crafty, the mini makers make the mess so what about
Mr Maker? What does he do?
The only thing he ‘drives’ with a pedal is the family car
and not knowing one end of a knitting needle from the other has left him
feeling a bit left out in the Maker revolution that has been sweeping the
household so he needed a plan...
Some experimenting...... |
Coming from an all ‘female’ household (just him and Rocky the
cat) see him very much outnumbered. The shed is a bit of a male makers refuge
so it seemed like a logical place to base operations. The other thing that
seemed logical to do was to start brewing beer. Logical in so much as both Mr
and Mrs Maker drink beer and with a bit of trial and error (as if often the way
with making) he reckons he can make something every bit as good as the box of
beer that gets added to Mrs Makers weekly shop. A win: win situation, Mrs Maker and
guests will be happy with a constant supply of premium quality beer and Mr
Maker can hide out the way in the shed creating said masterpieces, while the
sewing machine is buzzing away inside.
With equipment gathered, recipe obtained, ingredients procured and the process underway the wait is now on until the ‘German Pilsner’ can be tested and the outcome of the first Mr Maker experiment is ruled either pass or fail...he has his fingers crossed it will be exceptional but first time out I have just my fingers crossed it will be drinkable!
