Thirsty now..... must... have....
Pretty good stuff. At the time though we'd just chug from the bottle... it's much better enjoyed properly.
Good thing she doesn't drink very often.
Shit's EXPENSIVE!!
Really good, though.
My beer of choice is $1.89 for a half litre.
Plus tax, CRV, destination charges, and dealer prep.
$44ish for a case of 20.
Every Saturday between 1pm and 3pm they open the doors to the public. Buy a $10 pint mug and they give you 3 bottle caps; 2 different seasonal beers on tap usually dark and light each cost a cap. Good thing is once you buy the mug, the beer flows for free. I've spent a many Saturdays in that place. The dark ale is the best.
Cheap as hell too. You can put together your own ferment kit for twenty bucks......or buy a basic starter kit for 50 bucks or so. Bottling is a PITA, but super cheap. Better is spend 150 bucks or so on a dual keg w/ taps and Co2 bottle setup.
Process is sooooo simple. For a basic extract ingredient kit, it costs about 15 bucks or so, makes 5 gallons, and will be about the best beer you ever drank.........2nd only to brew from partial mash and whole grain kits.
Fermenting kit is basically a 7.5 gallon bucket w/ airlock. Basically, you simply boil the ingredients (called the Wort), cool it, strain it into the bucket, add yeast, and wait 2 weeks. Then siphon it from the bucket into the keg for a seconday fermentation, pressurize the keg, bleed off the air, wait another 2 weeks. Put the keg in the fridge, after 24 hours, pressurize to 40psi to force carbonate it...........wait 3 days, pour a draft and dump it (first glass will pick up the trub from the bottom...yuck) then enjoy. You can get all kinds of highspeed, moving away from extract kits to whole grains as you gain experience. Give lagering a shot, all kinds of cool shit you can do.......like dump extra dry malt extract and cane sugar in to boost the alcohol content to hell and back, or throw all kinds of crazy shit in it just to see what happens and how it tastes........strawberries, watermelon, mesquite beans.......fuck you name, somebody has made beer out of it.
If you bottle instead of keg, you just need a capper and a box of caps.........save your bottles (not twisties, they won't work)......instead of siphoning into the kegs.......you have a 2nd bucket with a tap and line for bottling. Siphon from the fermenter into the bottling bucket, then use the tap and line to fill each bottle from the bottom up, add some sugar, cap it, and wait a couple of weeks...........wallah.

Slick as shit.
We had quite the brewery set up in my garage. We started with kit stuff, but quickly graduated to all grain mash.
Next time you're in there look for J.B., the big blonde guy with the goatee.
Since he does it for a living now, we don't brew much anymore, but I get all I can handle so why jack with it?
1- Clean, clean, clean! Sterilize the shit out of everything.
2- Never use soap to clean anything, use the store bought sterilizer or a bleach/waser mix. A little bleach goes a long way, and has never failed us.
You can never get all the soap out of bottles/vessels, and it will spoil the best of recipies.
Got any extra caps?
In Germany, it's nigh unto a religion keeping soap away from beer mugs. If you got to a fest, where you pay a deposit for your mug, then just pay to keep it full.......you can watch 'em......people turn in a mug, it gets swished in warm bleach water, then swished in clean rinse water, then get's handed to the next person.
I clean all my shit with bleach, and rinse it with boilded water......because I have a well. Any bacteria whatsoever can add a bad taste to it.
You can get away with more when you keg, especially if you secondary in the keg as the alcohol plus the continuing yeast action will kill any bacteria, and when you pressurize it, the co2 layer protects the surface.......as well as making sure the bugs can't get in.
But you can't be to clean........I even bleach my hands! Nothing sucks more than getting through 4 weeks of aging.....only to discover that you have a nasty off taste because of bacteria.
If you arent bringing a sixxer to the party, GTFO !
Living in the Bay Area...even person I knew attempted to make their own beer. Same with Portland. End results was usually crap beer.
Hop prices have at least tripled in the last year. The UK barley grows them at all anymore, and the big breweries are buying up all the US stuff.
