I was a my liqueur store that also sells home brew supplies. The owners were at a Horse Show and I was just stopping in to get bottles caps.
There is a guy with 3 lbs of LME asking the counter person who knows nothing what hops go with this.
Being the only one in the store that knows brewing I took him under my wing and explained this was only the base for a recipe.
He asked if I had any recipes which I actually had ALL of them in the car but . . . . do I really want to go THAT deep with him.
So I pointed out some kits. He said his plan was having a brew party. Brew Saturday and then NEXT week Bottle and brew another batch.
sigh!
o man! THIS is where the "it tastes like homebrew" gets its name.
Where do I start. So I said NORMALLY I don't bottle for 3 to 4 weeks but he didn't really want to wait that long. I then explained that I make VERY good beer BUT, if you can shorten the process.
I did manage to talk him into waiting longer but I'm not sure it "took".
He left thanking me (along with the counter person). I pray for him.
