It has been a while, but I used to love brewing my own beer. From grain mind, not from a tin... I considered that an art. Getting the balance of grain and hop to finish with a unique taste...

I guess I'll try to catch up tomorrow with k-dusting those of you that I've been trying to sprinkle on today. Ohl be baaack, as the Gov. of CA so eloquently puts it.
it's a rolling block : you can't give karma more than10 times within any 24 hour time period. so if you give karma once every hour starting at 12, at 10 o'clock you'll have to stop, but at 12 o'clock you'll be able to give one more, then an hour later you'll have another slot free, etc.

No offence taken. And I'm pretty sure that at that stage it's NOT beer Well, it is beer in the same sense that a tree is a book...

This is one of the more interesting (in my opinion) stages of beer becoming beer. This is the Krausen or the Yeast Head that is formed whilst the sugar is being fermented into alcohol.

I have in the past taken some time lapse photos and made it into a small movie.

After a couple of weeks though, yup, it is most definately beer

Google Cache - a great tool when a site is unavailable

This is the video -

You may need to run it twice - it seems the first run through just skips to the end. And while only a couple of seconds long, this was about 3 hours in real time (iirc)

Not a problem
I really do need to find the time to start again - Does take most of the day for 1 batch (about 40 UK Pints). But I console myself with the fact that I am trying to lose weight so shouldn't be drinking that much at the moment anyway

yes, 40 pints is a lot of beer. you should really try to pace yourself, even when you're not on a diet.

Yes, 40 pints a day is a little bit much. Cut back consumption to 35, and in 8 days you'll be an entire day's worth ahead!

I also don't wish to offend, but could we just see the FINISHED product instead of how it came to be that way? I have a very sensitive gag reflex.

We DO appreciate your artful entry nonetheless.

Sorry -



Seriously though, this is the closet I have to the finished product...



I did think that the process looks better than the finished product though - nature at work (with a helping hand!)
