Beer
“You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline; It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”
-- Frank Zappa
Sparging from my mashtun (cooler) into my brewkettle with hops.
Brewing a Dunkel (German dark lager) aka Municher 2-23-08
6-7-08 Cascades hops (2nd year)
6-7-08 Mt Hood hops (3rd year)
This bag of malted barley is about $200 of state and federal alcohol and sales tax saved when made into beer...my own stimulus package.
7-12-08 Cascades hops (2nd year). Looking better than the Mt Hood
7-12-08 Mt Hood hops (3rd year) Plant had some damage from the hailstorm, looks like a lower yeild will result
2-25-09 Ale season is upon us...just got this sack delivered today. It will make ~20 gallons of tax free beer. I’m not waiting for the stimulus bill to pass to get my tax break....
