For Christmas 2010 I bought him a beer brewing kit. We have a lot of friends who have done it a few times, and some friends who also make their own wine. Spence was intrigued. Winter came and went, no home brew.
Spring came and went, once again no home brew. The weekend before last Spence and I went over to some friends house so Spence could help brew some beer. I think seeing it done and having a practical hands on day before committing to do it himself was JUST what he needed. So we set out to try this out for ourselves.
We ran into a few kinks early in the process, mainly the need for a 5 gallon stock pot. We have a turkey fryer and so we sanitized and scrubbed out that pot (we're hoping it was good enough and no icky bacteria were left to spoil our amber ale). We sanitized and cleaned all the other items we'd need for this portion of the brewing process and got started! Here are a few pictures of our adventure.
