It's also a good chance to build/practice the...

I don't mean this in any condescending way, but...a bigger pot?

I brew one-gallon on the stove top in a 2 gallon pot, and have had no trouble. Full 90 minute, big rolling boils.

I've had kumis - Mongolian-style fermented milk. It was passable - kinda like drinking the liquid off the top of a tub of yogurt, with estery and alcohol notes.

I don't know for sure if there's salicyates (aspiring-like compounds) in the wood, but it sure tastes like there is. Bitter, bitter, bitter - nasty. If you have...

You're making spaghetti sauce, and you add basil and oregano at 60 minutes, 30 mnutes, 10 minutes, and flameout.

You have colour-coded containers for cervesia, brett, lactic, malo-lactic, and acetic cultures.

My parents always hoped I would pick up some culture when I grew up - they should be proud!
