Lon makes some kick *** wines!
Sounds good hope he brings some to Mopars in the park.
Looking forward to the sampling and the show.

i've brewed a lot of beer, wine and champagne.Had filters for polishing and my own carbonating system and did a lot of experimenting.One of my favourites was honey mead using Champagne yeast...but you have to wait 20 years for it to come around. Problem was you are about half corked most of the time it's so economical. Now i just bought 2, 4 x 8 sheets of stainless steel from a guy and while in his shop he showed me his Whiskey and Rum stills. I've never tried that.
haven't brewed anything for over 25 years now.

I've thought about home made moonshine, but I'd probably screw it up too bad. Since I've quit drinkin, it really doesn't matter anyway.

Sampled and picked out 4 flavors for the nurses and volunteers at Cardiac Rehab on Friday. After 36 sessions it's Graduation Day for me!
So you all fixed for another ten years Mike.

Chocolate orange stout sounds wonderfully delicious
I want to get Toolmans recipe on that one for sure.
If I knew ahead of time that it was so good I would have brewed more than 2 gallons. LOL Here's the recipe.
Barley's Chocolate Orange Stout
Not to hard to make from what I see. Next batch for sure.
Not hard at all. Not real spendy either. But lots of fun to drink.
I think I'm gonna get another starting barrel so I can do more than one brew at a time. I have 6 boys and they really liked the first batch so thinking two batches at the same time I might get a few beers for myself. lol
Perfect. I have had 3 going at a time so far.
Easy enough to keep track of what's what so I think 3 is no problem. Even if a guy is working every day really doesn't take much time to brew a batch.
Exactly, Most of the time is just waiting.

Not gonna get better than you make for labels Ddadday.
And worth waiting for.
I'm feeling a little patriotic today. A little American Ale. Hard to believe this was bottled late last November.
Wow has some great fuzz should be real good I think.
