New Hobby: Fun with home chemistry

Exhibit A: Nice clear workspace at the beginning of the night. We all know where this is headed

See Erik. See Erik's heat stick. See Erik smile when the wort boils before 3 a.m.

We still almost forgot to take the original gravity reading before pitching the yeast! It's criminal! How could we be so forgetful?

New Hobby:

Yeah, it's not quite as nice as Great Lakes Brewery yet, but most nights we serve pizza if you want to swing by. The beer selection is usually limited in style, but we make up for it in 5 gallon carboys!

Milking the mash tun. Ahh, sweet ambrosia

The new batch. Brookton-Ale Pale Ale
