Real Name: Ryan
Favorite Music: The playable kind

Home Brewing Biography: Found out awhile back that a cousin and her husband found their way into the brewing world. Kind of sparked in interest. More importantly, though, I discovered mead; and discovered that it's rather hard to come by in local liquor stores. Thus, I decided I needed to make my own...and then found out I've got another friend who makes his own mead as well. So the time is right and I just need to figure out how to make it work in my mobile abode.

Secondary: Lemon-ginger mead
Lime-ginger mead

Tertiary: Apfelwein ("Man, I Love Apfelwein")

They're in a cabinet at ~75ºF right now. Temperature control is a difficult thing here in the
RV, but I'm working on it. May throw a bag of ice in the cabinet with them or something.
