The last time I had home brew beer before tonight was about twenty years ago. My brother made beer - and it was crap.
Today, I had my first couple of bottles from a beer kit of a Munich Dark that I just made.
In a nutshell - YOWSER!!!!!!!!!!!! Dynamite!!!!!
Being Scottish, and therefore hopelessly cheap, my beer drinking has been pretty haphazard and rather unsatisfying for a number of years. I know I put in my profile that I am in Seattle (because there was no spot for a Canadian address) but I am actually north of Seattle on Vancouver Island in Canada. Here, thanx to the government wanting to cure cancer on the backs of beer drinkers, beer is 16.00 a twelve pack. Ouch.
Now, with the price of the 5 gallons I have sitting around the house - HOLY SCHMOLY!!! I am In!!!!!
Just gotta say - I will be learning and lovin this! Some hobbies are ok, knitting, carving wooden ducks, making used spark plugs into intriguing works of art - but this one - brewing beer - YEP!!!!!
