Making beer

Jack and I decided to give his dad a beer kit for father's day because he likes "procedures" and he likes "beer" occasionally. But after looking over the process, he decided it was too much (it seemed like a good idea at the time). So he gave it back to us and said he would just drink the results. So we did our first batch a few weeks ago and it turned out pretty good. It was a pale ale and I gave a great deal of it away almost right away. We are saving some for this weekend because Jack's dad is coming this weekend to taste it and I will send some home with him.


Waiting to add the hops








I started our next batch last Sunday and it is a dark beer and should be ready close to the end of October just in time for October fest. We are not huge beer drinkers, but I am having fun making it and giving it away.
