Wheel with it
You should have seen me 100yds out of my office parking lot. Apparently tieing down with 3 straps is not adequate for Yuletide Crusin'.
Ask me how I know

Hell no I'm not making PBR, I wouldnt waste my time with that. Its a cream ale, like the ones made by liberty and I think RJ Rockers has one. Dont know how much the vanilla I added will come through probably none but had to try. I think it will be like 4.5% alc when its done (I definitely took the reading wrong JP). Should be ready around MLK give or take I think.
I've brewed a lot of batches in my time. If you like Stouts, I have a Russian Imperial Stout recipe that will blow the doors off. Let me know.
Send it to me in a PM, might be something to take on down the road. Already planned on doing an IPA next though. I have some serious fermentation going on this morning.
Will do. Can't go wrong with an IPA either.
I need to start again... been a couple years.
Richard you know about the brew store off White Horse road?
may have to travel to pick up supplies?
One suggestion if you haven't already... get yourself a bunch of cases of 25oz bottles. Makes the process much quicker.
I'm traveling this weekend, but maybe over the holidays I'll cook up a batch.
My dad brewed when I was a kid, back before it was legal. All natural brewing. I have no idea where he got the supplies. It wasn't as easy as it is now. He'd brew some mean rootbeer in the early days.
I was the "capper" guy with the old style cappers that were about the size of a highlift and looked a lot like one too.

Shoot you ought to be able to find a dozen stores in the Atl area and I'm sure one of them will have a hot lady too. I am going with the 32oz self capping bottle. The ones with the Grolsch style stopper. Good for about 4-6 uses before you have to change the little gaskets on them. As for supplies there are a million places online now.

Sat in meetings ALL day long in Boston.
That's good stuff Richard, can't wait to hear how it comes out.
I made a few batches when I was in college.
The first one tasted horrible but the alcohol percentage was sky high. Good for the late night rowdies who had numb tongues and didn't care about taste.
My last batch was pretty dialed in taste wise and was pretty popular in the frat house.
Hmmm. That's something I could easily get back into...
Must...resist...another...hobby...
