I'm Brewing Bald Bastard Ale!!!

[ROADKILL]

Wish me luck!!! I am attempting my first batch of home brew!!! Hopefully I don't end up making vinegar!!!!:D

[oO DARKSAINT Oo]

That is so freakin cool man! I've been wanting to do it. Where did you get your information, brew kit and recipe? Website? I know that Samuel Adams has some info on their site. Keep me posted.

[Mocha]

I get to be the taste tester. If I suddenly disappear, it's because it's a bad first brew and everyone should hunt down my husband!

[gebbie]

you should enter in the sam adams home brew challenge!... i told stacy that you should build a moonshine still too! :D

[Mocha]

I don't think the school district would be too happy if we did that :p

[oO DARKSAINT Oo]

Oh man.... coffee flavored beer. I'm having a Drew Carey flash back.

*swallows own tongue*

[Mocha]

That would be interesting....

just tell 'em your bar-b-que'n!:D

[Mocha]

hahaha.... Don't think that would go over very well.

[Jumpman]

I'd try it Road. Hope it turns out well.

I'm kind of weary about it. It's just a simple starter I bought at the store. It is a simple mixture of malt molasses and yeast. Once I get payed I'm going to the local Natural Foods store. They have every kind of Malt, Hops, and all the ingredients to make your own brew. I also have to buy a few of the supplies needed to do it all. Right now I have a homeade 5 gallon fermentor but I wan't to get a Carboy (pretty much a 7 gallon water jug off the water cooler at work.)

Darksaint....There are thousands of how to websites with instructions and recipies. Just google it and your set. I can get all I need at our natural foods store that has all the equipment and bottling supplies. Just find a sipmle recipe online and take it from there. Trying to figure out the supplies you need is the hard part.

I like the other labels you have on you myspace. I'll probably start mine next month. Wwe have a home brew store down the street.

[ROADKILL]

That would be awesome!!! Grow your own grapes for your own wine!!! I bet you'd come up with some good stuff!!!

Drinking @ home, no problem....but Brewing?!!!

[ROADKILL]

It's actually pretty easy. My bro and I just started the second phase of the brewing. We dry hopped it and are ageing it for a week, then we can bottle it and we'll age it in the bottle for another couple of weeks and it will be good to go!

hows the status coming?
