I have about 2 weeks until I start brewing. My birthday is Feb. 12 and my gift to myself is a kit to brew with. I have been reading the complete joy of home brewing so I will “relax and have a home brew”.

Well written article, it has me inspired to make sure I get my kit and get brewing.

but, but, the tee shirts all say, “beer is proof……..”-

Nice post! I’ll gladly drink ‘em, but I’m doubtful that I’ll ever be ready to brew ‘em…..not willing to pay my dues…witness the ‘sploding beer in the closet.

Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

But be that as it may. Great post, Jake.

That was my picture (not Jake’s). Taken a long time ago but I like it. I can’t even recall what beer it was (early in my own homebrewing career, obviously, being in the light and all). I now know better, and I’m sure Jake does too, I just didn’t want him taking the blame.

Where did you hear that about the Ben Franklin quote?

Nice post. Two things: (1) Ben Franklin said “wine is proof…”, not beer. It was paraphrased and hasn’t been given due credit since. (2) the picture’s nice but you’ll want to move that fermenter away from sunlight (or at least put a towel over it), unless of course you like skunky light-struck beer.

Cheers!
