Mini Interview |
|
| My first homebrew... | An amber ale from a starter homebrew kit that tasted like a kitchen cleaner. Sanitation, what is that? My dad said he liked it, but he likes everything. The brews are considerably better now. Practice makes perfect, so I practice drinking, um brewing beer often. |
| Homebrewing Story... | Losing most of a batch being siphoned into the secondary fermenter. Nobody saw the hose fall out as we were working on tapping a keg of homebrew. |
| 3 favorite beers | Stupid Polish Girlfriend Blonde Ale. Clueless Polish Girlfriend Oatmeal Stout. Slow Polish Girlfriend Brown Ale. |
| Why I homebrew... | Nothing like being able to make exactly what you want and fool with recipes. Also, there is nothing better than sitting outside with some great homebrew and great friends(while making more homebrew). Homebrew on tap at home.....Priceless! |
| Brewing Accomplishments | A few unexpected awards at some brew competitions. Started brewing all grain 5 years ago and am now wondering why I didn't do it sooner. |
