Nope, sorry, try again.....
The only brew I want to see, is that of myself....
Your most fabulous creation..."Vaden's Brew" - LOL![]()
Hmmm....a light colored brew, yet with tremendous strength in its full flavor and alochol content.... clear...beautiful....with a flavor that is addictive from the first...bite.
....I'll work on that![]()

Mojo - you make your own beer?That's crazy! How long does it take?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
From start to finish, 1 month minimum
1 - make brew and put into large plastic tub - add yeast - ferment for 1 week.
2 - move into large glass bottle...let ferment for 1 week
3 - move back to plastic tub - boil sugar (provides carbonation) - add both back to large glass bottle and immediately bottle - minimum of 2 weeks to carbonate. Best after an additional week or two.
Initial supplies cost about $120. Each "kit" costs about $27 - makes approximately 50 bottles of beer better than most that you will purchase from the store. And you can make your own label...with Vaden's legs
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........YUMMY

LOL!
That's cool! Does it taste better, worse or the same as store bought beer?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Cool
I choose the irish stout.
It's been awhile since I've made a homebrew myself. Definitely worth the investment in time and money.

lol.. yes... a pen.Originally Posted by MojoJojo
actually, we were determining the specific gravity with that glass tube thingy.. the pen is to record the SG... I was just trying to act all scientific and all![]()
ya can't go wrong with a stout Irish
Moj - What's up with the iron-on's kit? LOL![]()
Oh yeah...I have one of those things. I've never felt compelled enough to actually try it, though. I use the "how many beers does it take me to feel hammered" approach to determine appropriate alcohol content.actually, we were determining the specific gravity with that glass tube thingy
Vaden - iron-ons? What the Hell you talkin' 'bout, Villis?
EDIT
OHHHHHH....quite the observant minx you are. It's an old box for making t-shirts. I've never used it...always planned to make a shirt for my son. Maybe I should make a StripperWeb Beer Label shirt!

TODAY IS OPPOSITE DAY
I selected the Robust Porter...the one that got the lowest number of votes.....which is looking damned near stouty in its robustness.
Thanks for playing. Party at my house in one month.

An indian Pale Ale highly hopped and great alcohol content.
Or a nut brown ale similar to a Samual Adams.
Both are good for home brewing.
There's a great microbrew in CA, Pyramid Apricot Ale...but maybe too "girly" for a Midwestern man.
PS I HAVE to post this link on this thread, since Mojo has provided us with many, many hysterical comedy links....On the topic of alcohol:
The writers of the site really put a lot of effort into making the list exhaustive, bi-Coastal, and entertaining. I was in tears of laughter because I used to work for E&J Gallo in CA...(makers of Boone's Farm.......and other fine fortified products.) Enjoy!
"You'll find this beverage as often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at making you feel warm inside. "
hahahaha...beautiful!

It's funny, I'm German & Irish and I really don't care for beer.![]()
The only time I enjoy beer if any, is out on the beach or boat and it's got to be an ice cold "Corona" with a lime.
I like "Rolling Rock" a little too....![]()
Yeah...there's nothing like the infamous beer that gives you a different flavor with every bottle.like "Rolling Rock" a little too....
