“Roll on October. It’s the ideal time to start brewing again after the heat of summer. The hop harvest is gathered in, the apples are ripe for cider-making, the summer fruits have been stored, and there’ll soon be sloes to pick after the first frosts for sloe gin. But best of all, the room temperature at home will have dropped to around 18-20°...just the perfect temperature to get brewing”  – Doug Rouxel
