Excuse the double ping. It is FR.
Ping!
Red Devil, could you add me to your ping-list, please? Thanks.
Last week I was driving down the road from my house, and at a crossroads I saw a sign saying something about brew supplies. So I pulled a u-ooey and came back and read it, and it was a new business selling to homebrewers, just a few miles away. I have to go tomorrow and check them out.
Previously I had to go all the way to Raleigh, about 30 miles. I hope they have a grinder.
I have a cider press and 5 apple trees, and 2 muscadine grap vines, so I’m going to start doing a little cider and wine making. I’ve got 2 pears and 2 persimmon trees as well, so maybe I’ll mess a bit with those, too.
I love making 11% ale, with lots of hops. Wifey is not too enthusiastic, unfortunately.
I’m going to make some hard cider, around 5%, and see if I can get usable vinegar from it, without having to get some “mother”. I’ll let you guys know.
I’ll see your ping and raise you a Bump. [grin]
I saw a headline saying some element in beer is good for the brain. I went to the article and it wasn’t there. You beer makers may be onto something.
