The Mrs. and I learned how to make beer and wine a few years ago. It’s not only a valuable skill, it’s a lot of fun.

We’ve got 4 ‘kits’ put back that will make over 20 gallons of good quality beer along with all the requisite bottling equipment.

I figure we’ll be right popular if the SHTF.

I bought a can of the Coopers “Real Ale”, but ain’t ready to start it yet.

Still working on bottling and getting the carbonation right on the Bitters that I did. But with or without carbonation, that stuff turned out WONDERFUL, a chocolaty Amber color, a fine head. Very smooth, but it’s got a kick. No off flavors.

Gotta get more Grolsch bottles.
