Homebrew!

The new picture for this tribe of my first homebrew. I got a beer machine for Christmas ( www.beermachine.com ) and so far, the results are impressive!

      hmmm... a party....

      If it is good, then there may be a party. If not, I will have to suffer through 28 12 oz. servings on my own.

      I'll keep you posted though!

        I forgot tot tell you this last night, but was sidetracked by...beer. a boyfriend and I used to brew beer, um, practically every week and I don't think it ever came out poorly. A few times we ended up with some interesting science experiments everything that was obviously drinkable kicked ass. Had a LOT of fun with that.

        Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your labors.

    Homebrew GOOD! I've been brewing all my beer for the past 4 years or so. Good stuff.

    We've been meaning to to another porter again; the last one came out yummy.

    YUMMY.

      Ok dad, I will need to make another batch especially timed for your arrival. I had a half pint of my first batch today. It is still clarifying a bit, but now that it is cold it really does taste like beer! Perhaps I need to try this batch out on some locals with experience, and get some pointers in preparation for the Big Test in May.

        I have made the decision. It was close, but after sampling the beer about threeee times I have decided. It is excellent; and so convenient to have a pony keg right there on the top shelf of the fridge. The family standards live!

          You sure three was enough?

            I said threeee. That's Lawler family code for lots. I got a Texas Holdem question. If there are three players and player three calls the big blind, then player one calls the big blind. Can the big blind raise?

              Yes, absolutely, the big blind can raise. Posting the blind is not considered acting on your hand, so you have the right to act on the hand when it's your turn.

              Oh dear Lord - I've been there some some of those "threeee" beer nights. Bri - how soon 'till you brew up some Barley Wine?

    We just bottled our porter this evening. We tasted the futures and they're *good*...pretty hoppy, but surprisingly sweet and definitely a hint of chocolate.

    It'll be ready for drinking in a couple weekends. Yum.
