ABOUT ME

Occupation: Pre-media Production Tech
Home Brewing Biography: My dad learned home brew while the family was stationed with him in England. I remember him and the dog getting buzzed out in the shed while he bottl'ed green beer. He continued brewing after we came back to the U.S. and I was always interested in trying the new stuff he turned out.

I started brewing hard ciders because I was dissatisfied with local selections and price. Plus it is much more satisfying to cool my heels with a glass of home brew.
Future Brews: Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale, Tuak
Bottled: Ed Worts Apfelwein, Viginti Irish Red, Hefe
Gender: Male

Any chance there are any oils in your brewing system?I suppose there's always a chance, but
thinking over my cleansing and sanitation steps, I don't think the probability it that high.

First, this tastes really great! To me it's best when it's warmed up a bit from the fridge, and

carbed fine, ...

rather clean up...
