New Beer Fermenting


Having tasted home brew, I started making beer recently. With every intention to just try one kit, I'm now hopelessly falling head over heels with the process. This is my third batch - a Pale Haus Ale. There's magic to it. It's alive. I wanted to just post a picture but it's way more interesting to watch the fermentation happening live. As I get deeper into the craft I'm learning way more than I ever wanted to know about hydrolics, physics and plumbing. I've even made a bottle or two of very drinkable India Pale Ale. With any luck, I'll live long enough to gain a certain proficiency at this so I can move on to making my own scotch.
