Successful Homebrewing

Fri Jan 03, 2014 3:51 pm

Only took 4.5 years.

The wife (a wine and occasional vodka drinker) finally declared "This is a great beer. I love all the fruit you used."

It is a Pliny Clone :D

It is the first beer I think she drank the entire pour. Success! :pop

My wife has tried every batch of beer I have made, and has probably tried 75% of the commercial craft beer I have drank. She has one beer she enjoys, and it is only distributed in Arizona haha! :wink:
Bottled: fresh hop pale ale
On tap: Moose bile strong ale
In the cellar: Taqu'il's Fat Black Imperial Stout
Lagering:
In the fermenter: Moose drool clone
In the works: Taqu'il's Fat Black Imperial stout

You just need to get them drunk first? Huh. You just changed my whole approach to picking up women. So what do you do with a bulk order of chloroform then? It takes up a lot of space in my dungeon... err... basement. Yeah. Basement.

I'm assuming you still use the lotion though, right? Wouldn't want their skin to dry out too soon.
