Bad brew day

[Imhoppy]

I sample my beer all through the process, from green wort at pitching to 2-3 times during fermentation, sometimes even daily. I enjoy tasting the transformation.

Step 1 in the sampling process: I like licking the cover seal on the malt extract containers when adding during the boil. Hate to have any go to waste. Mmmmmm!!

I used to do that when I did extract too. Now I eat a few kernels of every grain I buy to see how it tastes raw and check for freshness. A good Pilsner malt and CaraHell are fantastic raw. Black malt is surprisingly tasty too - like eating espresso beans.

Liquor cabinet. I love beer, but some days are just better suited for hard liquor......

Yeah, I would have aborted mission at number 3 on his list (yeast volcano)... and proceeded to get drunk and pee in my front yard...
