It's Friday!!! The week-end is here....as is the summer (almost). Today's post is for something that goes hand-in-hand with summer week-ends - cold, refreshing beer! I'm not the only one who likes to make things from scratch in this house. My husband is on a beer making kick. He's tried a few different types, with the latest (still fermenting) being Kiwit - a white beer flavoured with kiwi. We brewed this beer on Monday (Victoria Day) and hope to bottle it in about 2 more weeks. So far the fermenting process is going well, and it looks and smells promising. Mike insisted that I post a beer recipe, so since this one has fruit in it, it's going to make the blog :)

1/2 lb Torrified wheat grain
