Home Brew

The past few weeks have been all about beer. Not for me, of course. K and a good friend of ours (some of you may know as Hefy) decided to brew their own beer. It's something that K has been interested in for a while, and after seeing (and tasting) my brother's success in home brewing, he finally decided to get into it. So, they bought a kit, and set up shop at Hefy's house... a mere 100 yards away. We have been checking on the "bubbling" and saving bottles for a while. Thursday night was the night- time to bottle up their brew! It's actually a lot longer of a process than I imagined. It takes weeks! Even after the beer is bottled, the bottles have to sit in the dark at a certain temperature for about a week. So, Thursday we went over to Hefy's and did the job. By "we" I mean the boys did it while I drank O'Douls and played Wii bowling:) I tried to get some shots of every step- stripping labels, sanitizing, siphoning, bottling, capping and tasting. Yep, I tried it! ...just a little. It's not ready yet, but it was really good! We have to give it time to sit and carbonate, but from what I could tell- huge success!!! I'm really proud of K.
Hooray Beer!

Until Next TIme,
