Does this mean I'm terrified when I have a glass of merlot at at home by myself?

Pinging the real drinkers....

You drink: Homebrew

Why?: Tastes Great and does not feed the Gov't through taxes (It's a far better brew when you know the gov't is getting the screw)

Your image: Image? Whats that? The only images I see are after many homebrews

Who are you? Someone who really enjoys beer. In all it's glory

Why do you drink it? Ummm, have you ever tasted Bud? Ewwwwww-And there we have the true question-has anyone ever really tasted a Bud? After real beer, your quickly realize that Buttwiper has no taste

Only if you order it from a non-existant bartender.

I haven't seen an imaginary bartender yet, but I have cats so I don't have to "drink alone". :-)

I like a riesling auslese, eiswein and port, occasionally a beer or a frozen mixed drink. I can count on both hands the number of drinks I have in the year.

"....You drink: Banana Daquiris

Your image: Fredo Corleone (listlessness, resentment, naivete)...."

No...Tarzan and a tableful of chimps....remember the old Far Side cartoon ("Guess who wants another tray of banana daquiris...")?

Caffeinated and fizzy?

I was president of a brew club for years. Then, I moved to a place with foul tap water (I didn't taste the water before I bought the house) and had to give it up.

Sorry, the Banana Daquiri is Fredo Corleone. Godfather II teaches us that.




Fredo: How do you say Banana Daquiri in Spanish?

Michael: Banana Daquiri.

Fredo: Really?

My brother has the same problem, his solution?

He buys "spring water" on sale for 50 cents a gallon at Walmart or where ever.

Works like a champ.

Small price to pay for homebrew.

Something to consider at any rate.

Cheers,

I've got great tap water but still brew with Walmart water. Too much time into it to take any chances. You never know if there's some rogue microbe hanging out on the spigot.

LOL...I actually got into "trouble" with the wife for grabbing 5 gallons out of the emergency/disaster supply on one brewing session

Seems to me like a White Russian would be the ultimate symbol of a laid back person.

My brothers water is so bad, pitching yeast is an adventure.

You can bruise your knuckles it is so hard.

After making a dozen batches, none of which would ever finish, he gave up and went the Wal Mart route.

He has never looked back !
