Name for Summer Lightning clone, and Homebrew Primer started

I mentioned the other day wanting an election themed name for the brew I made the other day and Housemate has come up with one for me.  As I made the beer on the day of the first televised debate, it will be called "I agree with Nick" as that was such a popular phrase during the debate.

Also in the news, I have begun writing a Homebrew Primer.  Several people at school have asked me to write a little thing that explains the process of homebrewing and the equipment one needs etc.  On account of me being nice and all, I decided to oblige and sat down yesterday and wrote.  It all came quite easily and I ended up with about 3,500 words written quite quickly (about 6 pages).  I'm going to write one more section, edit it it etc. then make it available for free download on this site.  It will start off just about getting into kit brewing as that's the simplest and the one I know most about, but it will expand when I learn more about the other methods.

Calendar update

I really will do some schoolwork soon, but I've just worked out a better way to add the calendar to the site, so if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see it in all its multi-coloured, interactive glory.  The red events are my brewing activities and the mustardy ones are real ale events from Aletalk's calendar.  Click on one for more details.

I've also been putting some thought into the idea of 'monetising' this blog.  I think that's Googlespeak for 'putting adverts on' and I would normally be dead against this sort of thing (and am currently 90% against it).  All I was thinking was that if the income that could come from this monetising would be enough to put towards purchasing ingredients and equipment, that would be a good thing.  I'd imagine, however, that one probably gets about a penny a month, which would make it ludicrously ineffectual.  If you are reading this and have a Blogspot blog that you have monetised (or even if you don't), could you comment here with any thoughts you have on this please?  That would be awesome!
