Beer

[mitch96]

4. I made home brew many years ago.. My first batch got "skunked" and I tossed it. Prolly some strange yeast in the air.

All batches after that were great. I just used four ingredients. Loved the smell and sound of carboys burbling away. I used "repurposed" grolsh and beck's beer bottles that I autoclaved in the oven. You could tell my beer as I used Orange Crush caps and had a label calling my brew "Old Goat Scrotum" . Always got a laugh.
I must admit I never got a hang over from my beer. I'd be real "fuzzy" the next day but no headache or stomach issues. If I went to a party (I was popular b/c of my beer!!) instead of bottles I would use coke pressure cylinders from soda distributors. Back then they were only about $15. You could buy a CO2 adaptor if the fizz wasn't enough.

I had to stop b/c I was brewing about 8-9 six packs per week and I was drinking way too much..Good stuff!!
The town I'm in now has 6-7 breweries within walking distance so on the week ends I make my rounds..
and And AND if I get too "schnitzy" there is a beautiful park to sit in and watch the world go by...
I'm burnt out on IPA's and just give me a good o'l stout and I'm happy..
