Recursion's adventures in home brewing: volume 2

[Recursion]

The Mr. Beer fermenting keg is now in my closet under my wife's wedding dress (let's keep that between ourselves, shall we?).

Now, I know what you're going to say: "Recursion, last time you forgot to add yeast to the wort", and you'd be right. However, this time not only did I add the yeast, I also screwed the top of the fermenting keg on tightly.

1. Don't spill beer on her dress

Okay?

[Paulie]

2. Um so you closed it completely

Or do you have that bubble thing on it? Otherwise you made a beer bomb under the dress.

4. It's got a stopcock to let the gas out

Though that would be kind of amusing. Years later, when I was no longer exiled to the couch.

3. I once knew someone who bottled his homemade beer in Grolsch bottles

The kind with the ceramic lock-lids. I thought it was a great idea back then, but those bottles may be pricier now.




You may want to find a different location for your keg, though, lest you end up singing about your Wedding Bell Beer Keg Blues.

5. Practice saying: "All the fabric conservationists I know praise the preservative effects

of beer-washes"

[HarveyDarkey]

6. So, what are you brewing?

Is it something from a kit, or a whole grain recipe?

[Recursion]

7. Partial mash

I'm using an extract along with some locally-sourced cereals and cardamom.

8. You're...

...gonna need a bigger keg after telling the Lounge about it!
