I did give a neighbor most of my experiment with Kool-aid(tm) wine. She loved it and it was 8%. Very quiet week, that week.

That reference to ass and band-aids is kind of an inside joke with the brew-bud. We have had a couple of less than stellar batches, but have had more than a few that were spot on style and world class.
I fondly recall an oatmeal stout that was killer. A Belgian Golden that I believe had the hand of Providence involved. We even tried to replicate that batch and, while good, was just missing something.
I still want to do a really big beer. Like a Thomas Hardy’s Ale clone.
Dang! I’ve got to brew soon.
