What I did for beer today

[warix]

I brewed a 5 gallon batch of an Alaskan Amber clone but the best part is I was able to brew with my son who turned 21 a few months ago. The second best part is the fact that this is the first time I have brewed in 10 years. The last time I brewed my son helped as well but he was only 11.

The brew day went great from start to finish. Very excited to get this batch fermented through the first stage so the fermenter is free again for the next batch!

Kegged a test batch of my hefeweizen that I'm trying to dial in for the rehearsal dinner. Also tasted my Kolsch (dubbed Cöölsch) after a month of lagering... Amazing!

Drank two of my brewing partner's English Bitters that have been sitting around for close to a year and has totally lost its carb.

Need the cellar space. Got to do my part.

I love doing things with my son. Our brew session today was special for me because he got married about 10 months ago and he came to me and asked if we could start brewing together as some one on one time. He remembered the time that we brewed when he was young and he also remembered it was about me trying to teach him to respect alcohol and also the importance of doing traditional things. Shortly after that first time brewing with him when he was 11 life got real complicated and I had to put brewing aside and work two jobs. What amazed me was the lesson that I was trying to teach him back then he understood and still goes by today. As for traditional things we do a lot of that in our family. For instance for the last 12 years I have shaved the old fashioned way with shave soap, brush, mug and a safety razor along with a straight razor on Sundays. I thought home to shave that way and he loves it. It may sound strange but before he got married and moved out we had many shaves together on a Sunday morning.

Anyway, johnmac, my point is, good for you to brew with your dad, I am sure it is something he will think about for a long time.

I'm so jealous of you guys brewing with your sons / dads. I miss my oldest so badly - he's in west Texas about 500 miles away. Brewing together with him would be such a blast, as it was actually he that turned me on to IPAs when he was in college in California.
