Mini Interview |

| My first homebrew... | I wanted to experiment and see if I would like to brew beer because I love GOOD beer!...I made a small 1 gallon batch with 2 lbs of extra light DME, and about 1 lb of crystal 120, I filled the glass 1 gallon jar almost all the way to the top and then added the dry yeast. The next morning I woke up to see the brew backing up into the air lock..I thought "I will just pop off the air lock real quick, wash it out, and put it back on." The brew shot out of the stopper hole and blasted my ceiling and everywhere in my kitchen. It took me an hour to clean it up before I went to work. I bottled it into a 2 liter soda bottle, and put it into the fridge right away. Needless to say it was horrible, and I pretty much did everything wrong. |

| Why I homebrew... | I love good beer! I love creating my own beer! I like my beer! My friends like my beer. I now have a bar in my basement and it's fun to have friend over drinking my homebrew, yum! |
