Today I brewed an batch black IPA. This is the first batch of beer i have brewed in years. I got sucked back into this hobby by a group of particularly unscrupulous members of a local home brew club I met at beer festival. These dastardly folks had absolutely zero sympathy for my brewing addiction and plied me with tales of the great beer they brewed last whenever. In the end I rooted around in storage and found the few pieces of brewing gear that I hadn't gotten rid of.( grain mill, 3 carboys, and a wort chiller) Stopped by the local homebrew supply store and grabbed a few little things like a hydrometer,airlocks,carboy brush, a bottling bucket and of course the ingredients for a black IPA. The owner was quite happy to see me. Once more into the breech dear friends........
