Mini Interview |
|
| My first homebrew... | Just Stout |
| Homebrewing Story... | During my first attempt at brewing, I tried brewing all 5 Gallons on my home range. I didn't realize how long it would take to boil 5 gallons, drank a 6 pack of brooklyn monster ale (an excellent barely wine) while waiting, added malt extract then woke up several hours later on the couch, house reaking of burnt malt and 2 gallons boiled off. Ended up dumping the ruined wort in the yard :-( |
| 3 favorite beers | Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (Imperial Stout) Guiness Huricane Kitty (IPA from Keegan's Ale, a local brewery in Kingston NY) |
| Why I homebrew... | 1) Fun, 2) Unique Beers, 3) Challenge, 4) Cost Savings (drink a lot of real beer) |
| Brewing Accomplishments | Well it's not an award or anything but everyone who tasted my latest batch of "Barn Floor" Stout said it was the best stout they ever tasted (and it was 7%+ ABV :-). Of course it didn't last a week due to overwhelming demand... |
