This guy is great... parmesean breadstick flavored mead. I'd rather drink my fermented throw up.

I do, hot sauce, pepper jelly, death relish etc...

At 11:45 of this video I show off a harvest and a couple batches of sauce I'd bottled.

I make jalapeno jelly myself...

I have to admit...the "bottoms up" line almost made me pee my pants after you took that tiny little sip only to followed up with that illogical barrage of how the beer not only sucks...but how you could get used to it. I love you dude. Definitely went on my Facebook page.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the traffic.

Yeah, I started 10 Bhut plants this past year. I kept four for myself and gave six away to friends and coworkers. The two biggest plants are still alive and overwintering inside. They started indoors in january and took 207 days to make ripe fruit. Definitely worth the wait, hottest thing I've ever tasted.

I'm doing the same. Any hints on keeping them alive over the winter? Mine are currently in my garage where it stays about 62 but they don't get much sun.

Cut them down to less than one third of their original size and keep them under a full spectrum grow light. Fluorescent grow lights are ideal. If you have a window in your garage keeping them near it will help a lot. Water sparingly, and keep on the look out for aphids. Aphids love to show up in abundance on overwintering plants for some reason, even if you've never had a problem out doors. You should also expect that your plants will lose all of their large leaves and grow a lot of little dark green ones. This is normal, but if they curl you might have a problem (likely aphids). Make sure you have some bug spray on hand. And get some good fluoresent growlights from the hardware store to hang over them. They won't make it without adequate light.

i have a feeling this is gonna be me.. I haven't brewed anything yet, just doing research but i think i'm gonna start my first brew with a mr. beer kit just cause i can get one pretty cheap and still get the feel of home brewing before i go all out on buying anything.

Exactly how I started. Of course each upgrade improves your beer, 5 gallons, all-grain, etc., the Mr. Beer starter recipes are still better than Bud Light. Plus, you made it. Lol, not sure about vintage 1996 Mr. Beer after seeing this video.

I'll be looking forward to when you join both passions and post a hops gardening video.

Nice review Mike, thanks for being kind.

Thanks for the tips. I've had aphid problems since I started growing these guys. I'll keep a lookout for them.

My pleasure, thanks for the delicious brew. I killed all three bottles last night while I was watching the state of the union address. I must admit I'm feeling a touch hung over this morning. More ABV than I expected, that's a good thing. You Definitely did a great job on the ESB, but the Cider was amazing. Did you use a champagne yeast on it?

Do you have any aversion to posting the review on here?
