I'm around. I've just been really busy, mostly with work.

Yeah, I don't think the Chimay will be ready to go by next weekend, but I'm sure we'll do some damage to it nonetheless. I'll give John a bottle or two to take back for the other Lipferts. I got fairly rocked off drinking half a bottle (along with a few of Nick's brew) of the stuff warm and flat, which means it could be very dangerous when it's cold and carbonated. Then again, maybe no one else will like it, which will mean more for me.

Nick's citrus brew was quite tasty. Without a side by side comparision, it really tasted like a Sam Adams or Harpoon summer ale. Not bad at all.

Yep, I'm hooked. How can you resist mass quantities of tasty beery goodness?

as an experienced homebrewer, the past few years have granted me the following wisdom...


Don't count on anyone not liking the free homebrew you're giving away.

You never had Sherv's raison bran/VITA MALT beer.

I took one for the team. No one else was going to drink them.

Actually there are still 2 in the fridge. I should bring them to NY and share the bran.

I believe there are an assortment of herbal beers. No idea how good they are though...I'll try one once I become better with normal ones

would it be possible to make beer with tea?

i'm thinking you could just steep a bunch of tea instead of grains at the beginning, then add the malt and hops like you normally would.

given the millions of different tea varieties/variations, i'd think you could come up with some fairly interesting brews.

That said, here in America we can brew beer with anything, including raw chicken parts. I'm not kidding. Gotta find that recipe and post it.

Ok, john's post made me curious.. Found a few interesting articles/sites in my search.

1) Carbonation Calculator

2) Gluten Free Beer Recipe

3) Couldn't find a chicken brew recipe but this is still interesting.. Chicken Beer
