Ping to the homebrewers and wine makers
“... home brewing beer in Mississippi is illegal which I didn’t know...”
You’re a bad, bad boy, Red! A rogue criminal of the worst kind... brewing beer for yourself. You should be ashamed! Ashamed, I tell ya’! (major SARC tag)
Brewing a kit European Pilsner tomorrow. Today we are making traditional cheddar cheese from three gallons of raw milk from Jersey cows.
Does cheese making count on this thread?
Glad to see this thread back after the holidays.
If you want to taste some good IPA and Double IPA you can’t go wrong with Lagunitas. Racer5, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Steelhead, Sierra Nevada Hoptimum are some of my favorite IPAs and Double/Imperial IPAs. No discussion of hoppy brews would be complete without a mention of Pliney the Elder. Your taste buds will never be the same.
I have a terrific IPA recipe I can post if you like.
IPAs can be expensive to brew. If you go that route I would urge you to buy hops in bulk. I just got 3 pounds delivered for 30 bucks. One of the pounds was only 5 bucks!

Having hops on hand really changes the way you brew.
I’m transferring the coffee chocolate stout I made New Years weekend into kegs tomorrow. I can’t wait to tastes it.
Cheers,

I will repeat my previous offer to Puget Sound homebrewers.
I have a bunch of Grolsch flip-top bottles and can give them to somebody who will put them to good use!
Just FReepmail me!
I’ve never home brewed, but I’d like to.
My son has home brewed some mead. It was actually pretty good. It’s not a beer technically I think, but it was like a beer in some ways.
But in lieu of a tasty homebrew I’ll just enjoy a Schlitz.
I am surprised at how pricey brewing kits are. There has to be a cheaper method?
Prosit!
p.s. here is a great drinking song on youtube, it’s Andre Rieu and the thee tenors singing the drinking song from the “Student Prince”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CErL59tpNc
