    Brewed a kit from 1997 last night

    Nice glade to hear the it stated. I have to say I lost my dad 05/24/08 and started hb later that summer so I was never able to share a hb with him. So as simple as this may be it will be HUGE to them to drink dads beer even if he's not there to drink it with them. GOOD JOB
