We were really tight this year too. Not only did I get the spray wand from vinl buono,but our son gave us a new blue ray player with a bunch of blue ray movies to go with for our HD flat screen. So we took the "old" HD DVD player upstairs for our private TV.
Not only that,we got another cool present. I do believe I've converted our son to craft brew. He has a fridge full of winter craft brews at home. But he came over for Christmas dinner,& gave some good critique of our ales. He said the Burton ale had this sweet bite thing going on. Wouldn't you know it,On the ales 8th day in the fridge,you can finally taste the hops! And of my wifes summer ale? Well,since the hops came through,it tastes like a lemon herb tea was added. So,over all,it tastes like a fresh summer shandy. Leinenkugel's fans will like that. He said not to change a thing when I revealed the changes I thought we should make. So I guess the ales need just a little more aging...who knew. You don't always get what you want,but still get something good!
