    Brewing beer (is it easier than I think)?

    I'd like to know how that wine-from-a-kit will taste. Yes, I know kits have improved a lot, but I would avoid them. Go speciality grain with extract, it's not difficult and you get some damn tasty beer. You need a large pot (3 or 4 gallons will do in a pinch but bigger is better), a grain bag...

    Could You Live Across The Street From Your Mother?

    Does your mother respect your boundaries? Can you tell her "no" straight to her face? Will she accept it and move on? Because then it could work. Have you ever had cats? Noticed how you only have to give in to them once and they expect that every time? Mothers can be like that.

    Most annoying response when you tell someone you're a homebrewer?

    :off: I am on record for saying that my #1 preference in beer is free beer. That was a long time ago however :-) I find that I just can't drink SAB (our version of Budmilloors). Except for Castle Milk Stout, that's not bad. Spent a night at a party drinking Clausthaler because that was the...

    Getting back into it after +10 years

    Hey snap. I brewed kits back in '95, fell out of it until pretty much last month, started doing partials. And they are soooo much better than kits. Of course it helps that there's a whole lot of stuff available to me now that wasn't possible back in '95. Kegging is definitely on the horizon...

    How honest are you when reviewing your own beer?

    Like my cooking, my beers are always stunning. I'm 100% honest on this. :D

    Whats the longest amount of time you've gone between brews

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    OK, you guys are a bunch of geeks [1] Secondly, I just spent most of a day reading through one thousand four hundred and eighty-something posts. That makes me an even bigger geek :-) Intro: I started brewing in 1995, made a few half-decent extracts, and a cider which was quite drinkable...
