On Jan. 16, 1920, the United States went dry. On that day 90 years ago, the 18th Amendment went into effect, making the buying and selling of alcohol illegal.
This period of Prohibition lasted for nearly 14 years in the United States. Then, in 1933, America's dry spell ended when the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th and the United States was able to once again legally pursue its love affair with alcohol -- including beer.
As America marks the 90th anniversary of the start of Prohibition, its affection for beer is still strong. But while many drink the beverage, how much do you really know about it? How's it made, and where? What are the differences between the various types of beer, from lagers to ales?

I brew my own.
It’s not that hard to make some amazing brews provided you take appropriate care to do so.

Agreed. After all, you can spend 4 hours watching a football game or spend 4 hours brewing beer and watching a football game.
I am a multitasking kind of guy myself.

Does watching football, brewing, and drinking beer count? I sure hope so.

Show a man how to drink beer and he will get a buzz.
TEACH a man to brew and he will never get any chores done around the house again....

“On Jan. 16, 1920, the United States went dry”
...and on Jan 17 Big Daddy Kennedy started making and selling bath tub gin and ammassed a fortune in order to buy his kids powerful positions in government.

I need to get on the homebrewers list.
Have a batch of my-recipe IPA that is setting at 64F in the secondary fermenter this very moment.

I have a late batch of wheat beer ready for priming and the bottle.

Sad to say, it is still too warm here in Sacto to brew.
This is a sad sight-
I have 400 lbs of grain on order so I should be able to start brewing again soon I hope.

Get a deep freeze and a Johnson controller.

I was hoping that when the Belgians bought out Anheiser Bush they could teach them to make good beer, but alas.

Actually,
I built this for fermenting -
Dual temp zones. Room to ferment 25 gallons at a time, lagering space underneath.
It isn't the temps of the fermenting brew that is too warm, it is too warm for ME !
The season will be changing soon and I hope to be brewing by the end of the month !
Cheers,
