It's not a Prankster Clone is it?
Today I tasted what I brewed 2 weeks ago in a homemade fermenter. I called it "groot" It was close to 10 percent and it tasted like minty cough syrup.This is a thread intended for anyone that does anything related to home brewing. You can post any thing you want as long as it was what you did today. What I did was make a Stout. If you made a chiller, brew pot, ordered hops, ordered grain, brewed a beer, made your first beer, whatever... what did you do for beer today?
Buddy, you can get hops online, it's no more expensive in cali than anywhere else. I get mine from morebeer, if your order is more than $59 shipping is free. I order specialty grains and hops for several brews at a time. Amazon has a limited selection as well.Today I tasted what I brewed 2 weeks ago in a homemade fermenter.

Got the job done after a pint. Tasted good after working on a roof in 96 degree heat.
I started with a 2.5 gallon fermenter.
I added 1 gallon of cold filtered water.
2 cups of brown sugar.
1/3 cup of splenda
Mixed it up.
Added 16 Oz of agave nectar i got from the bargain basket.
20 Oz of honey.
Hop substitutes(bitterant) put inside an old clean socksorry hops are 1million dollars in Cali)
6 Oz of fine chopped rosemary from my garden.(Poor man''s cintra hops)
2oz of fine chopped Mediterranean sage from my garden.(poor man's Dorado hops)
add 1 gallon of warm water.
Mixed it up.
Add 1/2 gallon of cold filtered water.
Get temp down to 83 degrees.
Pitch in 1 tsp of fleischmans yeast (poor man's turbo yeast)
I reckon it wunt great but it was groot.
Homebrew supplies near me are kind of like Cabelas(far and expensive). Luckily I have a big 5 (Food 4 less)
Although once in a blue moon I've won the lotto and bought 20oz of old Dorado for 20$. Not many deals these days,though,I reckon.
