Looks like the little guys could be unleashed in Michigan with the sale of alcohol at farmer’s markets.

I’m taking a vacation from beer until I drop 15 lbs for a race I am running this month. Somehow I gained a little weight last month and it is coming off no matter what. Actually, I know exactly how I gained it. I started having three beers EVERY night instead of just on friday night.

How fun.
Where I live there are three micro brewery’s, way nice.
Sure would be fun to become our own mini micro micro brewery.

Brewed a triple IPA a couple of months ago. Strong as hell but the carbonation didn’t work out as well as I wanted it.

Oh well, lesson learned to add more carbonating sugar on a high gravity brew.

Sweet. Never knew there was a homebrew forum here. Ironically, I just bottled a Blonde like 5 minutes ago. We just started brewing in January, but have already brewed our 100th gallon. Haven’t had a bad batch yet! We have learned an astronomical amount from reading books, and watching videos on You-Tube. We usually hide a bottle or two so when we make a new batch of that type we can compare and contrast...and it is amazing how much better we have gotten over time from a little thing learned here or there. So far the styles we have made were Amber, Steam, Belgian Wit, Milk Stout, Blonde, Porter, Pale Ale, Schwarzbier (with ale yeast). All have been a big hit, but the Steam and the Blonde seem to be the most popular...though for the darker beer lovers the Milk Stout (a stout with a pound of non-fermentable lactose sugar) was a big rage. I wish it took less time to finish a batch. I now have two primaries, and two secondaries, and 120 one liter bottles, so with an average one month brew time, I have a new 5 gallon batch ready to drink every week.

I broke out a bottle of raisin wine last night an shared with a couple neighbors.

For some reason, they don't trust my brewing math. They seem to think that I'm off a couple decimal points when calculating alcohol percentages........ ;) They enjoy a glass or two, then complain that their "nips are lumb" and they can't walk straight.

Kinda' makes me proud ☺
