“beer making kit”

If you need any advice let me know - my husband makes beer! Pretty darn fine stuff it is too.

He started out with barely the basics, then got hooked, and now we have lots of equipment and even a specially modified small refrigerator that holds two (soda) canisters of beer and has cool taps. He modified the thing himself, but it looks perfect - like a custom made (which technically it is). Because he’s not really a handy guy I was surprised how perfectly the thing turned out.

When he cooks the beer though-I can’t be in the house, it SMELLS, and lingers.

He also does wine. Very nice wine. We have cases of it in the cellar.

Weyused to know all about that in Milwaukee, but either all the breweries have gone away, or they use different equipment. I remember when you used to smell the beer downtown from the freeway. Then the next aroma was chocolate, but the chocolate factory moved away too.

How do we know it is pretty darn fine stuff, I think we should be able to test it out to make sure it is.

I will get back to you after I receive the kit - it has Every thing needed to get started - so they say. I am interested in making some wine also but that will come later when I get a bumper crop of figs. I would like to try a fig wine.
