[Spridgets] OT- Beer

[dlancer7676 at comcast.net]

Makes you wonder why they have more than one tap---all that tasteless stuff is the same.   Bud, bud light, miller, miller light.  Just recently our locals have begun carrying Yeungling, both on tap and in containers.  It is a huge step above the Bud conundrum and I have been ordering it.

 Yep--I have made several stabs at making my own brew over the years.  Some good, some awful.  I think the best I made was when I got away from using a "kit" and went to a brew store and  purchased real hops and real malt, and real ale yeast, etc., according to a recipe.  And I used spring water from a local spring to get away from chlorination.

There is a book available, yet, it's title is "The Idiot's Guide to Homebrewing."  Pretty good manual with recipes.
