I really need to start brewing. There's a store in Akron I can go buy everything I need just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Was just over at @ Grape and Granary this week. Those guys are very cool. The place has everything + classes. Do what you want. These guys are starting with the full 5 gallon setups. I started with the extract kits just to get the basics and procedures down. That and I don't have anywhere to temperature control anything bigger than a Mr.BEER fermenter keg. You can't follow the Mr.BEER directions though. If you do you'll make bad beer. The wort needs to be in the fermenter for 3 weeks (they say 7-14 days) (unless you purchase a hydrometer and take readings to tell you when fermentation is complete) and condition in the bottle for 4 weeks minimum (they say 7-10 days)

Why brew when you can buy the finished product? That would be like killing your own cow or building your own car or knitting a sweater etc. Why the hell do you cook food then? Just go buy it already cooked. The way they want you to eat it. Served the way they like it. It's actually quite rewarding to brew a batch of beer the way YOU want it. That and it's the coolest hobby on the planet with rewards like no other.

Nothing wrong with this thread unless you want a separate brewing thread. Brewing is cooking though. I'm so confused! Hence my question. I know you were posting your brewing updates in the cooking thread I got you. Might as well separate beer/food.

That's okay. It's probably like those Asian Massage places where it's better to imagine what it's like than to actually go in and get an awful latex hand job while the lady plays Candy Crush on her phone.

I just watched News 3 at Noon to hear why every cop in the valley including two black SWAT trucks were flying down Durango and got nothing.

I might start my first brew today. In a shit to of pain so I may wait. Got ingredients to make an English Pale Ale but Thursday and Friday were brutal and it's definitely kicking my ass this morning.

Bought this yesterday at Lowe's. Going to use it with my drill to aerate my wort before I pitch the yeast on the next batch. Now I just need to make a shield and sanitize it so nothing strange from my drill or anywhere else falls into the wort. Should be easier than getting spastic with a large metal spoon though. I just have to be careful not to nick the inside of the fermenter.
