Brewing away from home – the Innkeeper

I’m away from home, in the US, and without my usual brewing setup. I wanted to get something brewed, though, so went for an extract kit from Northern Brewer. While a kit beer, this is a step up from the sort of thing that many people start with. In the package came malt extract syrup, dried malt extract, three varieties of hops and a liquid ale yeast from White Labs limited collection – this yeast comes from Timothy Taylor’s in West Yorkshire. The beer is a clone of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, and I hope will produce a decent beer.
