we used to make wine 
Used to do it a lot in college. It was a lot of fun.
Yep! Been a few years but we were talking about doing up a batch this winter.
When will yours be ready? I'd be more than happy to test it for you!

It's ready
I have finally got to test my work- it's real good
#1 Americam Amber in 22 oz. bottles- nice and smooth, not to hoppy
#2 IPA on tap- hoppy and crisp
#3 Canadian Ale on tap- light and a little citrussy
#4 Ed Wort's Pale Ale- in the fermenter. I have had this and it is great , another 3 weeks before this is ready
Brewing is a lot of fun. Temperatures need to be watched closley as that dictates how the grains release their sugars. It really is a easy as baking cookies.

I homebrewed back in the '80s, probably did about 30 four gallon batches. Some were awsome,
others tasted like skunk cabbage.:whoops:
For the lagers that needed lower temperatures closely controlled I used an old freezer with a temp sensor wired to the power cord.
Such anticipation with each brew! Lots of fun.

No Home Brew yet....
Right now I’m into roasting coffee beans. Nothing like roasting and grinding your own fresh coffee/espresso. I’ve toyed with the idea of brewing up some suds. It would probably be a good idea get my Yin buzzed up to match my caffeine wired yang.

We did up a batch of Nut Brown Ale today. Need to get back into this!
