You MUST be an engineer or scientist of some sort...very impressive discourse!

Here is a great breakfast beer Terrapin Wake ‘N’ Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout.

Because of his enormous responsibilities and accomplishments people often overlook the fact that Washington was a pretty cool guy. A guy's guy. It comes out in that classic portrait where he is leaning and adopting a rather rakish pose.

It’s less engineering than putting together some existing technology, though if you like attention to detail, amateur brewers love to talk about their home brewing. I do wish some entrepreneur would construct such a machine, however. A good quality, retail version.

A good business, because besides selling the machine, you can also sell the ingredients.

The bit about bottling your own came out of the days of prohibition, when many people became expert at home brewing and bottling.

I was told that one of my relatives had brewed and bottled himself some good beer, that was happily aging in his basement on a warm, summer afternoon. Unfortunately he had added just a bit too much sugar to the bottles for that extra little bit of foam.

Just as the family sat down to supper, beginning with some potato soup, they heard a distinct pop! in the basement. The bottler froze. Then pop! pop! pop! pop!, etc., as he got a very unhappy expression on his face.

Nice work...now, could you please start on the birth certificate? ( ;-D

I'd rather start on a pint!

Wow...history AND beer!

But don’t listen to me...I like me some Natty Boh!

There’s a tavern near our house that makes a Baltimore Martini...a glass of Natty Boh with Old Bay rimming the edge.

I’ve seen such units before, but they are always rough fabrications instead of a comprehensive system designed for ease of use.

Well, having lived in (southern) MD for almost a year now, I am now familiar with Old Bay...I will try that. Thanks!
