Brewing Beer – Episode 3 (loosen up that malt and some pro tips!)

In episode 3 of our series I start getting crazy with some video edits and homebrewing pro-tips (coming from someone doing things for practically the first time)…

We loosen up the malt extract and continue to ramble.

If you’re even contemplating brewing beer, I cannot recommend enough The Complete Joy of Homebrewing Third Edition…

Brewing Beer – Episode 2 (adding the sock ‘o grain)

In episode 2 of our new homebrewing series, I take an old dirty sock and add a bunch of malt to it and let it steep in the brew pot.

Follow along as the magic begins… :)

All hail the “Ale Pail”!

Brewing Beer – Episode 1 (it begins)

After thinking about coming up with a new hobby, I decided to try making beer after a good 12 year hiatus (during my college days ~ which to be honest didn’t turn out so well ~ god, am I getting old!)…

I decided to document the process via video so I now present Episode 1 of my homebrewing escapade…

The “401-Keg Plan”

Really interesting link that I saw over on the Coudal feed today…

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, of $1000.00 you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have had $214.00.

That really puts things in perspective, huh? (and if you read the article, you’ll see I borrowed the title of this post ~ it was too good) :)
