Occupation: Student
Real Name: Daniel T.

Home Brewing Biography: I first dabbled in homebrewing in 2008. I made a medicinal tasting opaque orange. I then made an Irish stout which...died? I don't know, it's still somewhere in the basement. Now I've re-entered with renewed enthusiasm and sense about me. I have a 7.5 gal brewpot and an outside 100k BTU propane burner. I take sanitation seriously now, unlike when I was a kid. A buddy of mine is working on a fermentation chiller for me too so I can take the wet-towel covered fermenter and fan out of the closet! I hope to get a 10 gallon pot w/spigot and thermometer as well as a mash/lauter tun and another primary and secondary fermenter by Christmas :D
Future Brews: Feeling Lucky, Punk? Pumpkin Ale (partial mash pumpkin ale).
Primary: Paley Ale #1 (American Pale Ale)

I just had to toss some Anchor Summer Beer. Tasted awful, a tad skunky and generally oxidized.
And it was a fresh bottle.

Victory swing saison ..... Not too good.I was really disappointed by it. Very weak flavor and
an off floral note that kinda shoots right up your nose and not in a good way. The Yards saison

Gotta throw a second onto this list. Pilsner Urquell... omg i hate itI wager if you had it
