Thank you for the info, Irish guard. Gee, I can my own tomatoes, peaches, jellies, jams etc... perhaps I will start making my own “Mom” beer!!
I'm dead serious about this......I've brewed about 90 - 100 batches of beer. I have three boys, 27, 24 and 21 and they are all in their beer drinking prime, so the 'inventory' moves pretty quickly. At the same time, they all like to stand around with the old man and watch the process, smell the hops (which are awesome) and it all ends up being a good father/son bonding thing. Mrs. irish guard even comes out to enjoy the BSing that goes on.
I'm happy to give anyone some further background if they care......
